In-Traffic Reply App By Samsung Tackles Distracted Drivers

Updated: April 26, 2017

We all know we shouldn’t drive and use our phone at the same time. Yet, some of us tend to do it. Numerous accidents occur annually across the globe, especially due to distractions as a result of smartphone usage while driving. Well, Samsung aims to tackle this issue with their upcoming app called “In-Traffic Reply”.

The In-Traffic Reply app sends automated responses while the person is driving, so you can completely stay focused on the road. The app will automatically activate when it detects the user is riding a bike or driving a car through the smartphone’s GPS sensors. Once the phone’s owner receives a text or a call, it gets immediately cut off and the app sends a pre-set message. The default reply is “I’m driving, so I cannot answer at the moment”. However, if you want to step it up a notch, you can even send a pre-set customized message.

Samsung’s app is currently in beta, but the final version is scheduled to be released in May and it will be available on the Google Play Store for free. If you don’t want to wait that long for the actual release, you can download the APK file of the beta version from here and start using it right away. Stay safe, riders.

Every Android device comes with an in-built screen recorder these days. However, in some phones like the Pixel series, you don't get a lot of control over the screen recorder. You can't tweak the screen recording quality, frame rate and other settings. This calls for reliance on third-party screen recording Android apps, like XRecorder, AZ Recorder and Mobizen. These are free too, with only certain features like recording at over 60 FPS being locked behind a paywall.
