In major Indian cities such as Delhi and Mumbai, finding parking can be extremely challenging. This often leads to drivers parking in unauthorised spots, causing traffic congestion and receiving hefty fines from the traffic department. In some cases, vehicles are even seized by the authorities.
The government is addressing this issue by developing organised parking facilities in various cities to accommodate vehicles near markets, popular tourist attractions, and metro stations. However, locating these parking spaces can still be difficult as they are often situated away from these areas.
Fortunately, Google Maps offers a feature that can help in such situations. You can utilise Google Maps to locate available parking spaces. If you're interested in this feature, here's a step-by-step guide on how to find the nearest parking spot using Google Maps.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp has introduced new privacy-focused features in response to growing privacy concerns. Previously, users needed to exchange phone numbers to connect on the platform, but now they can use a new feature to connect without sharing their phone numbers. This feature allows users to share their profiles using QR codes, which means they can connect with others without disclosing their mobile numbers. The use of QR codes allows individuals to access each other's WhatsApp profiles and start conversations easily and securely.
