    Tech Briefing: Apple pays $1bn penalty, Google invests in India
  • A lot happened in the technology world when you were sleeping.

    Plus, the company also encouraged its retail store employees to work remotely in areas where COVID-19 cases have spiked and stores had to be re-closed.

    Here are other developments.

    The action comes less than a week after several iOS apps, including Shazam itself, were broken for the second time due to an issue with the social network's sign-in SDK. The glitch was fixed after almost three hours.
