Highlights

  • Threads is reportedly testing its own built-in DMs with trials in Hong Kong, Thailand and Argentina.
  • Threads users disliked the previous Instagram-linked DMs due to confusion, privacy concerns and identity overlap.
  • The move signals independence, making Threads more user-friendly with a dedicated inbox for direct messaging.

It looks like Meta has finally agreed with what Threads users have been asking for since the beginning. Yes, we are referring to Threads’ own direct messaging, built right into the app. If reports hold any truth, there will be no more redirects to Instagram, no awkward workarounds, just simple and straightforward DMs within the Threads app, where conversations are actually happening.

According to a recent report by The Verge, Threads is testing its own messaging inbox in three countries starting this week. These countries are Hong Kong, Thailand and Argentina.

It’s a limited rollout for now, but Mark Zuckerberg has confirmed that a wider release is coming “soon.” No official timeline has been shared yet, but at least the change is in motion.

When Threads first launched, Instagram head Adam Mosseri suggested merging DMs from Instagram with Threads, saying users didn’t need another inbox. But that idea didn’t sit well with many, especially Twitter/X users who had moved to Threads and didn’t want their Instagram and Threads identities mixed together.

The workaround of mirroring messages across both platforms wasn’t popular either. Many users felt it was clunky and confusing and raised concerns about privacy and identity overlap, especially for those who keep different profiles on Instagram and Threads.

Now, Meta seems to be changing its approach.

While Threads initially relied on Instagram’s network to get off the ground, this shift shows that it’s finally being treated as its own standalone platform. And if Meta really wants Threads to grow and stay relevant, giving it features like built-in DMs is definitely a step in the right direction.

Reports reveal that if you’re part of the test group, you’ll see a new envelope icon on the bottom taskbar on iOS and Android. On the web, it’ll show up on the left-hand panel. It might seem a small tweak, but one that could make a big difference in how people use Threads day-to-day.

FAQs

Q1. What is changing with Threads’ direct messaging?

Answer. Threads is testing its own built-in messaging inbox in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Argentina, eliminating the need for Instagram-linked DMs.

Q2. Why did Meta decide to add DMs directly to Threads?

Answer. Users disliked the previous Instagram-based messaging system, finding it confusing and problematic for privacy and identity separation.

Q3. How will users know if they’re part of the Threads native DM test group?

Answer. Test users will see a new envelope icon in the bottom taskbar on iOS and Android, while web users will find it on the left-hand panel.

Highlights

  • Nothing Phone (3) leaked image reveals a transparent back but notably lacks the Glyph Interface.
  • A new triple rear camera setup has also been spotted including a periscope telephoto lens and an asymmetrical design with a circular LED flash.
  • The phone is rumoured to feature a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 or MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset, a battery over 5,000mAh and a price around GBP 800 (Rs. 90,000).

The Nothing Phone (3) is set to launch officially on July 1, as was confirmed by the brand in an official teaser recently. However, it appears we might not have to wait for that long to get our first look at the upcoming flagship device. A new leak might have just spoiled the surprise. Here’s what we know.

Nothing Phone (3) Leaked Images

A leaked render, shared by tipster Max Jambor (@MaxJmb) on X (formerly Twitter), gives us our first clear look at the phone’s back design. And it brings a mix of the familiar and the unexpected.

Max Jambor posted the image along with a caption that read, “There have already been quite a few teasers and leaks, but that’s not enough. Here comes your very first look at the upcoming Nothing Phone (3)!”

Just like its predecessors, the Phone (3) in the leaked images sports a transparent back panel. But this time, there’s no Glyph Interface in sight. Instead, the design focuses on a new triple rear camera setup, placed on a centrally located circular island at the top. The cameras sit in an asymmetrical layout, with one of them clearly being a periscope telephoto lens. Just above the periscope sensor, there’s a circular LED flash.

If accurate, this would make the Nothing Phone 3 the first model from the company without the Glyph Interface, which was one of the brand’s signature design features. Previous leaks had already hinted at the presence of three rear cameras including the periscope lens.

The image also shows the volume rocker on the left side, while the power button and another key likely the Essential Key introduced with the Phone 3a series sit on the right.

Nothing Phone (3) – What Else We Know?

As for what’s under the hood, the Nothing Phone (3) is rumoured to be powered by either the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 or a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 series chip. It could also pack a battery larger than 5,000mAh, making it a solid choice for heavy users. At launch, the phone is expected to be priced around GBP 800 (roughly Rs. 90,000).

More official details will be revealed soon, but this leak already sets the stage for a big shift in Nothing’s design language.

FAQS

Q1. What does the leaked image reveal about the Nothing Phone 3’s design?

Answer. The leaked render shows a transparent back panel, but unlike previous Nothing models, it lacks the Glyph Interface. Instead, it features a new triple rear camera setup on a centrally located circular island.

Q2. What camera upgrades are expected in the Nothing Phone 3?

Answer. The leaked image confirms an asymmetrical triple camera layout, including a periscope telephoto lens and a circular LED flash positioned above it.

Q3. What are the rumoured specifications and price of the Nothing Phone 3?

Answer. It is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 or MediaTek Dimensity 9400 series chip, a battery over 5,000mAh, and a price of around GBP 800 (roughly Rs. 90,000).

Samsung Takes A Dig At Apple’s ‘Liquid Glass’ UI, macOS Tahoe 26 Similarities to Windows Vista Discussed

Highlights

  • Samsung mocks Apple’s iOS 26 Liquid Glass UI, claiming its translucent design resembles One UI 7.
  • Apple’s macOS 26 (Tahoe) draws comparisons to Windows Vista as similarities with Microsoft’s Aero Glass UI.
  • Apple’s limited AI announcements allow Samsung to highlight Galaxy AI’s advanced features.

Apple’s new software updates announced during the WWDC 2025 opening keynote have stirred up some serious reactions, and not just from fans. Samsung, one of Apple’s biggest rivals, didn’t waste time throwing shade at the tech giant’s latest design choices, especially the much-hyped Liquid Glass aesthetic.

In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Samsung poked fun at Apple’s iOS 26 design, which features a shiny new UI with translucent elements. The South Korean brand pointed out how familiar it all looked, suggesting that Apple’s design strongly resembles its upcoming One UI 7.

While both may have different technical approaches, visually, they do look quite alike.

“Customizable apps? Floating bars? That sleek glass UI? Looks… familiar 🤔,” read a cheeky post from Samsung Mobile US.


Many users have also pointed out that Apple’s new UI feels similar to Windows Vista’s old Aero interface, which had the same light-refracting, glass-like visuals. In fact, the updated app icons in iOS 26 and macOS 26 are being criticised for making it harder to identify apps or read labels clearly.

Samsung didn’t stop at visuals. It also took jabs at Apple’s slower rollout of AI features. While Apple only lightly touched on AI during its WWDC keynote mentioning Siri just twice, Samsung made sure to highlight how far ahead Galaxy AI already is.

“New to live translations? Welcome aboard! We’ve been translating text and speech in real-time for a while now… #GalaxyAI,” and “AI is coming to your watch? Cute. Ours already knows when you’re too tired to care 😴 #GalaxyAI,” read two more sarcastic posts from Samsung.

Meanwhile, Apple’s macOS 26, officially called macOS Tahoe, also caught flak for reminding people of Windows Vista. According to Windows Latest, Apple’s new design, described as being “crafted with Liquid Glass,” shares several similarities with Microsoft’s old Aero Glass UI, which allowed users to “see through” interface elements. Both designs use soft tints, layered depth and colour-based transparency effects.

As of now, Apple seems to be taking a more cautious, privacy-first approach to AI and design changes. But in doing so, it’s given competitors like Samsung plenty of room to mock and claim they did it all first.

FAQs

Q1. Why is Samsung criticising Apple’s new Liquid Glass UI?

Answer. Samsung claims that Apple’s iOS 26 design, featuring a shiny, translucent UI, strongly resembles its upcoming One UI 7. In a post on X, Samsung sarcastically pointed out similarities, saying, “Customizable apps? Floating bars? That sleek glass UI? Looks… familiar.”

Q2. How does macOS 26 (Tahoe) compare to Windows Vista?

Answer. Many users have noticed similarities between macOS 26’s “Liquid Glass” design and Microsoft’s old Aero Glass UI from Windows Vista. Both feature layered depth, soft tints, and colour-based transparency effects, making Apple’s new interface feel reminiscent of Vista.

Q3. What criticism has Apple faced regarding AI in its new iOS 26 updates?

Answer. Samsung mocked Apple’s limited AI announcements at WWDC 2025, highlighting how Galaxy AI is already ahead. Posts on X pointed out that Apple is “new to live translations” and sarcastically called its upcoming AI-powered watch features “cute.”

Apple’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference has officially kicked off today with Apple’s keynote event, live from Apple Park. The Cupertino Giant, as expected, has unveiled some major new OS versions like iOS 26, macOS 26, iPadOS 26 and more.

WWDC 2025 Keynote

Apple CEO Tim Cook kicked off the WWDC keynote by talking about the F1 movie, an upcoming Apple TV production. Cook starts by dedicating WWDC to app developers while also reaffirming Apple’s commitment to their success.

Craig Federighi, senior vice president of Software Engineering, admits there is a delay in Siri development. “This work needed more time to reach out high quality bar, and we look forward to sharing more about it in the coming year,” he said.

You can check out the entire opening keynote here –

Meanwhile, here’s everything we know after the just-concluded WWDC 2025 keynote live stream.

Foundation Models Framework

Apple has introduced a new version of its foundational large language models, optimised for both on-device and cloud-based processing with a strong emphasis on developer integration. For the first time, third-party app developers will gain access to these models, the same technology behind features like Writing Tools, Genmoji, and document summarisation.

This opens the door for developers to build and integrate their own AI-powered tools directly into their apps.

iOS 26 Redesign

Apple is shifting its operating system naming from version numbers to year-based names, starting with iOS 26 and watchOS 26. This change, announced by Craig Federighi at WWDC, accompanies the company’s biggest software redesign in years.

The nomenclature of the Apple OS will now reflect the year.

Apple’s Liquid Glass design

Apple introduces the “Liquid Glass” design on iOS.

Alan Dye, vice president Human Interface, announces a massive overhaul of Apple’s design language across every OS using “liquid glass” with the optical qualities of glass.

It’s a sweeping overhaul of Apple’s design language across every operating system, built around a new “liquid glass” aesthetic. Inspired by the optical qualities of real glass, the interface brings a level of fluidity only Apple can deliver.

It refracts light, reacts to movement, and responds in real time to your content, making navigation clearer and creating dynamic, live experiences.

Dynamics Wallpapers

The time fluidly adapts to the available space with the timeface crafted to nestle into the scene. It also keeps the best part of the view as new information comes in. There’s also a gorgeous new way for artists to show off their artwork, says Apple’s Craig Federighi.

Car Play Updates

image

CarPlay has a compact design so you can still see what’s on the screen when you get a call. iOS 26 also gives you widgets and live activities such as a friend’s flight status,  all designed in a way that keeps you focused on the road. All of these updates also come to CarPlay Ultra with a unified and consistent experience across all driver screens.

CarPlay Ultra also lets you choose the layout and design. “We’re so excited to work with different automakers, combining their look and feel with the power of the iPhone.”

Apple Revamps Phone App with Hold Assist

image

The Phone app, largely unchanged since 2007, gets a fresh, optional scrollable view in iOS 26 combining favourites, recent calls, and voicemails. Users can quickly identify important calls as callers share their name and reason before deciding to answer or ignore.

The new Hold Assist feature maintains your place on hold, as soon as it detects the ‘hold’ music, and lets you use your iPhone freely, making waiting smoother and more convenient.

New iMessage features under iOS 26

Apple Intelligence will now suggest polls on group chats in iMessage. You can also send and receive Apple Pay requests on iMessage, which finally gets typing indicators.

Apple also announces new screening tools for iMessage to filter out spam messages. ‘Unknown senders appear in a dedicated area until you decide on how you want to respond’

Apple Integrates ChatGPT

Apple has announced more refinements to Genmoji and Image Playground. Image Playground sends your descriptions to ChatGPT for a customised image generation while ensuring nothing is shared without your consent with ChatGPT. Meanwhile, Genmoji is now blending emojis with text inputs for enhanced customisation.

Live translation for iMessage, FaceTime and the Phone app

Live translation automatically translates text into other languages using AI. On Facetime, you can follow along with real-time live translate captions. On a phone call, the call is translated as you talk. As they respond, you can hear a spoken translation of their voice. This works even if you call someone who doesn’t have an iPhone.

Apple Music Gets Lyrics Translation and Automix

image

Apple Music now features lyrics translation and pronunciation to help users follow along in multiple languages. It also introduces Automix, which seamlessly blends songs together like a professional DJ for uninterrupted listening.

Apple Maps Gets New Updates

Your iPhone will now learn your preferred routes and suggest alternate route options. If you’ve wanted to return to a location, Apple is introducing Visited Places. You can view the Visited Places in the Apple Maps library that are protected by end-to-end encryption and can be deleted with a swipe.

Apple Introduced a New Games App

image

There is a dedicated tab for Apple Arcade. In the library tab, you can see all the games downloaded from App Store. The Play Together tab lets you compare scores with friends and compete with them using Challenges. For developers, single-player games can be turned into multiplayer games.

Visual Intelligence Update

Visual Intelligence is now extended to the iPhone screen so you can tap into the capabilities of apps across the App Store. It works automatically with any app. You can open a social media app and, for instance, find out where to buy a jacket by taking a screenshot with Visual Intelligence options appearing at the bottom.

Visual intelligence also lets you extract information from a screenshot. You can also tap the Ask button to ask ChatGPT questions about what appears on your screen. “Visual intelligence makes it easy to search across apps, take actions, and ask questions,” says Apple.

WatchOS Updates

image

Watch OS brings an AI-powered Workout Buddy that lets you identify meaningful insights in real-time. Combined with Apple Intelligence on your iPhone, the metrics are transformed into actionable insights such as an AI-voiced pep talk.

It will be available starting in English across few workout types. Workout app also gets a new layout with custom workouts just a tap away. There are also new media features built right into the app.

The Pad 7S Pro is expected to come with a 12.5-inch LCD display and support 120W fast charging. It’ll slot into the lineup between the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro and the Pad 7 Ultra, so pricing will likely reflect that middle ground.

Xiaomi is expected to ditch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the XRing O1 chip in this model. Thanks to its larger size, the Pad 7S Pro could manage heat and modem-related issues better than phones, giving it more headroom for high CPU performance and smoother use with HyperOS.

Although Xiaomi hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, all signs point to a launch by the end of June. And with four new tablets rumoured this month, the Pad 7S Pro might just be the start of Xiaomi’s next big tablet push.
