Adobe's Firefly generative AI app is now available on mobile

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-11 19:00:55

When its redesigned Firefly app arrived earlier this year, Adobe launched the platform without Android and iOS app support, saying those would come at a later date. Today, the company is making good on that promise, with both versions available to download from their respective storefronts. If you're new to Firefly, it's the place where Adobe brings together all of its AI image, video, audio and vector generation tools.

Adobe has been on a quest to attract users to its platform for their AI needs. The company in April launched a redesigned Firefly web app that lets users use Adobe’s own Firefly image- and video-generation models as well as third-party models. Now, it is releasing a Firefly app on both iOS and Android that lets people use all of its models as well as models from OpenAI (GPT image generation), Google (Imagen 3 and Veo 2), and Flux (Flux 1.1 Pro).

Threads, Meta’s microblogging platform, is testing spoiler text, according to a post from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Spoiler text refers to words (or images) that are greyed out in a post and only become readable if you manually click to see them. As the name suggests, spoiler text is often used on platforms like Discord or Reddit to help people communicate about new movies, TV shows, or books without accidentally revealing plot points and twists for people who aren’t caught up.

What just happened? Apple's latest update for Macs, macOS 26 Tahoe, introduces a significant leap forward in disk image technology with the debut of the ASIF format – a development that could reshape how users and developers handle virtual storage on Apple silicon Macs.

Last year, Apple’s WWDC keynote highlighted the company’s ambitious strides in AI. This year, the company toned down its emphasis on Apple Intelligence and concentrated on updates to its operating systems, services, and software, introducing a new aesthetic it calls “Liquid Glass” along with a new naming convention. Nevertheless, Apple still attempted to appease the crowd with a few AI-related announcements, such as an image analysis tool, a workout coach, a live translation feature, and more.

macOS Tahoe brings a new disk image format

Disk images have been valuable tools marred by poor performance. In the wrong circumstances, an encrypted sparse image (UDSP) stored on the blazingly fast internal SSD of an Apple silicon Mac may write files no faster than 100 MB/s, typical for a cheap hard drive. One of the important new features introduced in macOS 26 Tahoe is a new disk image format that can achieve near-native speeds: ASIF, documented here.

Apple is salvaging Image Playground with a boost from ChatGPT

When Apple unveiled Image Playground last year, the company touted it as a quick and easy way to generate personalized, original images with the help of Apple Intelligence. Upon launch, the app was met with skepticism, as some users were disappointed by its limitations and low-quality results. For example, one Reddit user was surprised to find that Image Playground kept generating an image of a hand with six fingers when prompted to create an “up close image of a hand.” In another instance, a u

Earlier this week, during the WWDC keynote, Apple showed off its new iOS 26. For the first time since iOS 7 in 2013, Apple is revamping the operating system’s look and feel, introducing a very Windows Aero-esque design language called “Liquid Glass” (RIP Windows Vista), and since this was the flashy new thing at the keynote, it’s been the week’s hot topic.
