Instagram tests a reposts feature

techcrunch.com Aisha Malik 2026-03-17 07:04:33

Instagram is testing the ability for users to repost posts, the company confirmed to TechCrunch on Monday. The move doesn’t come as a surprise, as the social network was spotted developing the feature as far back as 2022. Some users have reported seeing the feature on their accounts, with one noting that users will be able to repost their own content in addition to other users’ posts. Of course, not everyone will be on board if Instagram decides to roll out the change officially, especially si

Instagram users complain of mass bans, pointing finger at AI

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2026-03-17 12:44:04

Instagram users have for weeks complained about a significant increase in accounts being mistakenly banned or suspended. Many suspect, without direct evidence, that the issues may have to do with the use of AI automation. Reached for comment, Meta has so far not offered an on-record statement. According to a growing number of social media posts, including on sites like Reddit and X, Instagram users report that their accounts were banned even though they had not violated the company’s terms of

Meta and Oakley tease a smart glasses announcement for June 20

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-17 15:25:32

Reports emerged earlier this year that Meta was working with Oakley on smart glasses and it seems we're about to see the fruits of those labors. A new Instagram account called @oakleymeta has popped up and its first post teased an announcement for this Friday (June 20). Instagram's own official account and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared the clip on their stories, as did Oakley on its social channels, so this is legit. The end of the video shows the Oakley and Meta logos side by side in a very

Your Next Instant Pot Might Be Made by Donald Trump

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-03-17 15:15:37

Donald Trump sells everything from Trump-branded Bibles to MAGA sneakers, as the billionaire hustler profits from the presidency in a way that no other U.S. leader has ever attempted. And it looks like we can add a few more products to the list today, including a MAGA Instant Pot, if you can believe it. The new Instant Pot is being dubbed the 45/47 Collaboration, according to a new report from Semafor, a reference to Trump being both the 45th and 47th president of the United States. It’s not cl

Professional Chefs Beg: Don't Waste Your Money on These 20 Overrated Kitchen Tools

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-17 23:38:00

Professional chefs understand the value of kitchen real estate like New Yorkers understand rent -- every square inch better be pulling its weight. Walk through the swinging doors of most restaurant kitchens and you won't likely spot an avocado slicer or dedicated egg cooker lying around. Nope, every tool has a job, and if it doesn't earn its keep, it's out the door faster than last week's unsold seafood. That's why chefs are the ultimate authority on which kitchen gadgets should get the boot --

Meta AI app ‘a privacy disaster’ as chats unknowingly made public

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-03-18 11:12:36

The Meta AI app has been described as “a privacy disaster,” as users unknowingly make their embarrassing questions public. One tech writer described it as like discovering your web browser history has been public all along without you knowing it … TechCrunch reports that there is an absolutely ridiculous privacy default for many users. Whether you admit to committing a crime or having a weird rash, this is a privacy nightmare. Meta does not indicate to users what their privacy settings are as

How to set up a WhatsApp account without Facebook or Instagram

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-18 16:00:24

There's no shortage of reasons to stay off the Meta ecosystem, which includes Facebook and Instagram, but there are some places where WhatsApp remains the main form of text-based communication. The app is a great alternative to SMS, since it offers end-to-end encryption and was one of the go-to methods to send uncompressed photos and videos between iPhone and Android users before Apple adopted RCS. Even though Facebook, which later rebranded to Meta, acquired WhatsApp in 2014, it doesn't require

Professional chefs know the value of space in a drawer or on a countertop better than anyone.

Every instrument and piece of cookware serves a purpose, earning the real estate -- however small -- it occupies.

Using `make` to compile C programs

I have never been a C programmer but every so often I need to compile a C/C++ program from source. This has been kind of a struggle for me: for a long time, my approach was basically “install the dependencies, run make , if it doesn’t work, either try to find a binary someone has compiled or give up”. “Hope someone else has compiled it” worked pretty well when I was running Linux but since I’ve been using a Mac for the last couple of years I’ve been running into more situations where I have to

Another one for the graveyard: Google to kill Instant Apps in December

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-19 19:32:16

Apps used to be the measure of a mobile platform's worth, with Apple and Google dueling over who could list the most items in their respective stores. Today, the numbers don't matter as much—there are enough apps, and Google's attempt to replace parts of the web with apps is going away. Instant Apps, a feature that debuted in 2017, will reportedly be scrapped in December 2025. In its place, you'll just have to use the Internet.

is a news editor with over a decade’s experience in journalism. He previously worked at Android Police and Tech Advisor. Google has confirmed that it plans to shut down Android’s Instant Apps later this year, attributing the decision to “low” usage of the functionality.

Google is killing Android Instant Apps, but you probably won’t miss them

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-21 16:22:15

Joe Hindy / Android Authority TL;DR Google is discontinuing its Android Instant Apps feature in December 2025. The feature allowed users to try parts of an app without needing to perform a full installation from the Play Store. Low developer adoption is the likely reason for the shutdown, as creating the small, instant-enabled app versions required a lot of work. There are many different ways to interact with a digital service, but the average smartphone user tends to prefer using a mobile a

Instagram adds real-time Spotify song sharing to Notes, teases grid reordering

Instagram is introducing a new way to share your music taste through Notes, the temporary status updates that appear above inboxes in DMs. Starting today, users can display the Spotify tracks they’re currently listening to in real time. Unlike the existing music sharing features, this update continuously reflects the current song, showing both the title and artist. It builds on Instagram’s integration with Spotify, which began last November with the introduction of an “add to Spotify” button.
