Elon Musk announced on Sunday that starting soon, you will be able to chat with your friends, family, and war collaborators on X, the everything app. Now, you might be thinking, “I could already do that, Twitter has had direct messages since basically forever.” And you would be right.

Hello, does anyone know about recent Google/Gmail DMARC changes? I noticed new field "DMARC" in the "Show original" message overview and caused for the message with valid DKIM and SPF to be delivered to Spam. No such field exist in the interface for older messages, so this is something fresh. After creating default _dmarc TXT record (with p=none currently), it was fixed. Anyone heard something? Thank you. EDIT: Based on older messages, that field was added 1 of May.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The latest version of the Google Messages app finally makes it easy to see if a contact uses RCS. Contacts now have an “RCS” badge to the right of their name. This is a welcome departure from having to open a chat with each contact to see if they use it. Google Messages has supported RCS for years now, but one missing feature is the ability to quickly check which contacts are using this standard. We discovered last month that Google was working on RC
