“If our systems detect that a post may contain bullying, hate speech or may incite violence, we’ll show it lower on Feeds and Stories of that person’s followers. To understand if something may break our rules, we’ll look at things like if a caption is similar to a caption that previously broke our rules,” Instagram said in a blog post (via Engadget). It’s worth pointing out that Instagram already limits the visibility of harmful content on the Explore tab....

When you post a picture to Twitter or Reddit, you have the ability to mark it as inappropriate or disturbing. Thus, the image will be hidden behind a shade, and you’ll only be able to see it if you tap on the view button. It seems like Instagram wants to make this an automatic process with its messages. When you get a message that could potentially contain nudity, the message will be locked behind a shroud until you choose to view it....

Twitter didn’t share details about the extent of improvements users will see following the latest updates. The announcement, made over the weekend, only said it has applied the changes to improve the video quality on the platform. The company separately confirmed to The Verge that it has removed a pre-processing step that videos go through when you upload. This additional step apparently “split videos into smaller chunks for ingestion,” effectively reducing the quality....

The Pixel 7 series ads confirm ‘Macro Focus’, and talk about many more features The Pixel 7 Pro ad is a bit more interesting, as it starts by highlighting ‘Macro Focus’. It’s here to allow you to “see tiny details” in photos. You can even see a sample taken with the phone here, a macro shot of a flower. Do note that the video is not in HD, though, so don’t judge the image quality by it....

Facilitating this seamless switch between Instagram and Facebook is the company’s Accounts Center feature. This feature has been around for years and already lets you jump through multiple Instagram profiles with just a few taps on the screen. Simply add all your Instagram accounts to Accounts Center and you’re good to go. Meta is now adding Facebook to the mix. You can enter Accounts Center from either app, likely by long-pressing the profile tab, and switch to the desired Facebook or Instagram profile in no time....

Now, most people probably winced when they read the title. Meta isn’t quite the most trustworthy company, and people will probably feel their data leaving them the second they set foot in the store. Folks can’t deny that there will be a community of people who will boycott this store. The Meta retail store will sell Meta and Ray-Ban products Meta, since it gained that name last year, has been putting a lot of time and energy into pushing folks into the metaverse....

Following the Internet Explorer shut down, Edge is now the only browser from Microsoft, and it is doing great in the market. According to the data obtained by Statcounter, Microsoft Edge’s market share globally has now reached 10.84-percent. The Edge’s growth in the month leading up to June has been 0.52-percent. This growth came after Microsoft officially announced it is retiring Internet Explorer after 27 years in service. While Microsoft Edge’s growth has been significant, it is still far behind Chrome....

According to Mint Mobile, its plans differ from most carriers — with the exception of the one noted above — in that savings start with just two lines added to the plan. The plans, while similar to its standard plans in price at just two subscribers, offer steeper discounts when paid further in advance. So they start out at $15 per month, per line but users are paying the per-month cost of a yearly subscription....

Yes, you read that right. Motorola is all set to unveil the 2022 version of the Motorola Razr 2022 on August 11, which is just a day after the Unpacked event where Samsung will unveil its 2022 Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 foldable smartphones. It would be interesting to see all the new features and improvements, the Motorola Razr 2022 packs in. It is critical because it will compete with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4....

Elon Musk claims ten percent of Twitter users are fake Musk’s legal filing came as a response to Twitter’s lawsuit seeking a court order compelling him to complete the proposed buyout of the company. The billionaire agreed to buy the microblogging site for $44 billion in April. But soon after the deal was announced, he started expressing doubts over fake accounts. Musk alleged that Twitter is falsely reporting its active users, something it has been caught doing in the past as well....

In case you don’t know what Black Desert is Back in 2015, Korean game developer Pearl Abyss released Black Desert for Windows. Since then, it’s reached PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, Android, and iOS platforms. Black Desert is a massively multiplayer online RPG that takes place in a large sandbox world. Though it’s a free and open-world game, there’s still a solid story surrounding everything. There’s a war going on between two rival civilizations, the Calpheons and the Kingdom of Valencia....

“Your app’s content that is accessible to children must be appropriate for children. If your app contains content that is not globally appropriate, but that content is deemed appropriate for child users in a particular region, the app may be available in that region but will remain unavailable in other regions,” Google said (via Android Police). Developers that fail to meet these requirements could face app removal or suspension. With this new policy in effect, developers will have to determine if their app is inappropriate for kids in a particular region....

In fact, this is one tablet that will be more than suitable for the whole family to use. Whether that’s for educational apps, entertainment, productivity, or gaming. Or, of course, for enterprise applications. Since the Nokia T20 meets Google’s Android Recommended devices requirements and works with HMD Enable Pro. For starters, Nokia is packaging the underlying hardware behind a 2K display panel. At 10.4-inches and coated in toughened glass, the display is blue light certified....

It seems odd that these devices can use Netflix itself, but not a certain price tier of it. When you go on to the Netflix support page, it will tell you that the new ad-supported tier is not supported on Chromecast devices without Google TV. If you want to use Netflix on your non-Google TV Chromecast, it will have to be one of the higher-paid tears. Netflix is not telling us why non-Google TV Chromecast devices can’t use the cheapest tier What makes the situation worse is that Netflix is not telling us why....

According to Yogesh Brar on Twitter, the OnePlus Tab will now break cover in the second half of the year. The reasoning behind the delay isn’t available, though we hope to find out soon. OnePlus enthusiasts would remember that reports about a tablet have been around since at least 2014. However, none of those reports materialized. Instead, OnePlus continues to focus on its mid-range and flagship smartphone lineup, with devices like the Nord CE 2 and Nord N20 in the pipeline....

OnePlus went to Twitter in order to do so. It basically asked its users what would they use AR for. It’s trying to collect ideas from users, which actually signals that the product launch is not near, at all. OnePlus needs your help with its future product, some sort of an AR wearable Now, the company’s Twitter post leads to a forum post on OnePlus’ website. In it, you’ll find a ton of experiences with AR and VR products, from a ton of users....

We’ll talk more about that in the review, of course. Before we do start, however, it is worth noting that this phone is made for the Chinese market. It comes with a software build that is not adapted to global markets, and even though we’ll talk far more about it in the software section, it is worth saying here as well. That being said, I really did enjoy using this phone, and am excited to share with you what I’ve experienced....

The OPPO Find N has a set of truly powerful specifications Let’s kick things off with the phone’s displays. The main display measures 7.1 inches, and offers a resolution of 1920 x 1792. This is an AMOLED display, and an LTPO panel at that. In other words, it offers an adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz. This panel is flat, and it offers max brightness of 1,000 nits. The secondary display on the phone measures 5....

OPPO patented a dual fold smartphone, but we’re not sure if it will ever launch This design is actually quite interesting, as OPPO seems to be focusing on versatility, rather than providing a huge phone. This smartphone seems to fold in the same way as the Find N, but it has a second hinge on the right part of the phone. Why? Well, that allows for the rear camera setup to be folded in the other direction....
