Instagram tests collaborative carousel feature where multiple users can add to a single post

It has been about 4 months since Threads launched as an alternative to the volatile and ever-so-changing landscape of X (formerly Twitter), and it has managed to provide a comfortable home to users owing to its fast deployment of new features, paying attention to user feedback and the fediverse support. For the unaware, fediverse, a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe", is a decentralized social media infrastructure. However, one area where users feel left out is DMs or direct messages. It has been one of the biggest requests from users, but it appears that neither developers nor decision-makers of the social media platform are sure how to tackle it because of some serious complications.

Google has taken it a step further by introducing the "save frame" feature, ensuring that users can preserve individual frames from YouTube films without compromising the original quality. The Microsoft Edge Canary build has also incorporated these functionalities.

Like many in my millennial age cohort, I've got a sickening nostalgic obsession with clear plastic electronics: Game Boys, OG MacBooks, Discmen. It's god's own design language, I tell you, not just rosy memories of the late '90s and early aughts! No doubt taking note of the many aftermarket solutions for giving the Steam Deck a clear plastic makeover, Valve's gone ahead and made its own, official version.

Valve has introduced the Steam Deck OLED, which offers more than just a better screen. It has many other improvements over the original model, ranging from faster Wi-Fi to a bigger battery. All of that being said, it isn’t advertised as a successor, and it’s no more powerful at running games than any other Steam Deck. It’s simply a premium alternative, like the Nintendo Switch OLED is to the regular Switch. You can check out our full review on the Steam Deck OLED.

In an effort to boost user engagement, Instagram has been testing a ton of new features lately. Recently, Instagram head Adam Mosseri shared the news that Instagram was testing a feature that lets users create custom stickers from photos. Moreover, it has also been experimenting with another feature where it will offer a verified-only feed to give more visibility to businesses and creators. Additionally, it also tested a feature that lets followers of a user add photos and videos to a carousel.

WhatsApp Web is often the version of the platform that is neglected in terms of new features and updates. All other versions, including the Android, iOS, and desktop receive updates more regularly compared to the web client. That is why it is exciting news for WhatsApp Web users when this client gets new features. Very soon, the web client will get a feature that will make looking for older messages a piece of cake. According to reports, users will soon get a date filter while searching for messages, allowing them to filter their search in a smaller section, allowing them to better pinpoint its location.

One of mobile’s best gaming classics has just completely vanished from Google Play. That’s bad enough, but even worse is the fact that you can no longer play it at all – even if you bought it before it was delisted.

Cities: Skylines 2 is out now on PC, and for those wondering if their system will be able to handle the game as they grow their towns, one player has the answer for you. 

Fishing in Stardew Valley is a bit of a palate cleanser. After all that growing, watering, and sowing, you get to stand still, cast your line, and wait for the fish to reel in. However, it’s not super obvious where each fish type can be caught in the game.
