Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Some Google Messages users report that they’re unable to open the app as it keeps crashing. Affected users say they can only reply to a text if someone messages them first or if they go into their contacts menu. One workaround is to uninstall the latest Messages update and then reinstall it. Google Messages is the built-in messaging platform for millions of users worldwide. Unfortunately, some users are experiencing a rather serious issue with the ap

How to use Instagram Map and protect your privacy

techcrunch.com Aisha Malik 2025-12-05 02:53:44

Following Wednesday’s launch of Instagram’s new Snap Map-like opt-in “Instagram Map” feature — which lets U.S. users share their most recent active location with others and discover location-based content — Instagram head Adam Mosseri is having to reassure people that their location is only visible to others if they decide to share it. Although Meta has made it clear that location sharing is off by default, there have been numerous posts on social media urging users to turn off location sharing,

The end is near for flagships with a meagre 128GB storage

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro may start at 256GB of internal storage, eliminating the older 128GB option. A $50 price increase is expected alongside the bumped-up base storage tier. Apple’s move could pressure remaining Android flagships, such as the Galaxy S and Pixel lineups, to ditch low-storage models and finally start at 256GB. Android flagships have long moved to higher storage options, with many offering as much as 1TB of storage. While external stora

For the uninitiated, watching a Jeffrey Epstein truther such as Laura Loomer have such influence over the White House’s decisions is nothing short of baffling. ABC News attributes “the ouster of at least 15 individuals from Trump’s second administration” to Loomer’s influence — partially, at least. For Washington veterans who grew up in quote-unquote normal times, it’s unprecedented.

Enthusiasts and professionals wrestle with prompts and even fine-tune these models to tamp down the AI smell, with varying degrees of success. Examples of the "AI Look", provided by Krea in their technical paper. Last week, Krea launched an open model, FLUX.1-Krea, that’s built to avoid the “AI Look”. Their writeup is tremendous: it d

The launch of an Instagram feature that details users' geolocation data illicited backlash from social media users on Thursday. Meta debuted the Instagram Map tool on Wednesday, pitching the feature as way to "stay up-to-date with friends" by letting users share their "last active location." The tool is akin to Snapchat's Snap Map feature that lets people see where their friends are posting from.

The feature has quickly sparked a backlash, though, and not just because it's yet another example of Instagram ripping off a Snapchat feature. While the map requires users to opt-in to share their location, many users were surprised and alarmed to see that their Instagram map was already populated with the locations of some accounts when it launched.
