techcrunch.com Lauren Forristal 2026-02-06 08:18:47

On Monday, Bluesky announced three updates to enhance notifications, allowing users to personalize their experience while decluttering their notification center and reducing unnecessary alerts. The updates include the ability to receive activity notifications for specific accounts, as well as options to adjust notification preferences to control which alerts you receive. For instance, users can choose to be notified only when certain accounts reply to them. Bluesky users can now navigate to Se

Bluesky is finally adding more ways to filter notifications

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-06 12:55:42

Bluesky has updated its notification settings so that users have more control over when and why the social media app sends them a ping. Besides more granular controls over which things will trigger a notification, you can now receive alerts for any activity from a chosen account. As a fledgling app, Bluesky has lacked the in-depth notification toggles you might find in something like Instagram, which has had over a decade to figure out when people want to be contacted.

One UI 8 will let any app show a Live Notification in Samsung’s Now Bar

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-12 08:31:09

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s One UI 8 will enhance its Live Notifications feature by adopting Android 16’s new “Live Updates” API for broader third-party app support. This new API allows any app to create live, ongoing notifications, a major improvement from the previous version limited to mostly first-party Samsung apps. The feature is currently available in the One UI 8 beta behind a developer flag but is expected to be enabled for everyone in the final stable release.

Android 16’s Live Updates won’t work with your favorite music player, and that’s a bummer

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-12 22:00:04

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 introduces Live Updates, a new feature that elevates ongoing notifications to the status bar, but it excludes media playback notifications. This is because media apps use a dedicated “Media style” template, which is not one of the specific styles that can be promoted to a Live Update. Switching styles would cause media apps to lose key playback controls and features, a trade-off developers are unlikely to make for this new functionality. Li

Once live, these special notifications will appear fully expanded on the lock screen and as a persistent chip in the status bar for at-a-glance updates. The feature is already fully functional in the latest Android 16 QPR1 beta, suggesting it will likely roll out in the next quarterly update. Google’s stable

Citrix warns of login issues after NetScaler auth bypass patch

Citrix warns that patching recently disclosed vulnerabilities that can be exploited to bypass authentication and launch denial-of-service attacks may also break login pages on NetScaler ADC and Gateway appliances. This happens because starting with NetScaler 14.1.47.46 and 13.1.59.19, the Content Security Policy (CSP) header, which mitigates risks associated with cross-site scripting (XSS), code injection, and other client-side attacks, is enabled by default.
