Meta Blocks Apple Intelligence Features On Facebook, WhatsApp and More Of Its Apps On iOS

0

Highlights

  • Meta disables Apple Intelligence features in its iOS apps.
  • Tools like Writing Tools, Genmoji and keyboard stickers are unavailable on Facebook, WhatsApp and Threads.
  • Meta may aim to promote its own Meta AI, which offers similar features like writing assistance and image generation.

Apple introduced Apple Intelligence with iOS 18, and it’s been available to users since the release of iOS 18.1 last October. While most apps automatically support Apple Intelligence features, developers can choose to disable them and it looks like Meta has done exactly that.

No Apple Intelligence in Meta’s iOS Apps

According to a report from Brazilian blog Sorcererhat Tech, Apple Intelligence features like Writing Tools that help users write, edit and proofread text aren’t available in Meta apps on iOS. This includes Facebook, WhatsApp and Threads.

iPhone and iPad users usually can tap on a text field to bring up Writing Tools, but that option is missing in Meta’s iOS apps.

Meta has also blocked the ability to use Genmoji, Apple’s AI-generated custom emojis. On top of that, keyboard stickers and Memoji can no longer be added to Instagram Stories, even though they were previously supported.

Meta hasn’t explained why it’s blocking these Apple Intelligence features, but the likely reason is to push users toward its own AI platform Meta AI. Meta AI is available across most of its apps and offers similar features, like writing help and image generation.

A report from The Wall Street Journal last year mentioned that Apple and Meta were in talks about bringing Meta’s AI model Llama to Apple Intelligence. 9to5Mac, in its report, revealed, “This integration would likely be similar to the deal Apple has struck with ChatGPT, which is currently the only third-party partner for Apple Intelligence. While Apple’s own on-device and cloud models power most Apple Intelligence functionality, the company is willing to help user requests about ‘world knowledge’ be transferred to a third party AI model.”

However, Apple since then has reportedly backed out of the deal due to concerns about Meta’s privacy policies. The two companies have also clashed before over App Store rules.

So for now, iOS users won’t be able to use Apple Intelligence in some of the most popular apps out there including Meta’s biggest platforms.

FAQs

Q1. Which Apple Intelligence features are blocked in Meta’s iOS apps?

Answer. Meta has disabled features like Writing Tools, Genmoji, keyboard stickers, and Memoji in apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and Threads.

Q2. Why might Meta block Apple Intelligence features?

Answer. Meta is likely promoting its own AI platform, Meta AI, which offers similar functionalities like writing help and image generation.

Q3. What is the update of discussion between Meta and Apple on integrating Meta’s AI model Llama?

Answer. Discussions about integrating Meta’s AI model Llama with Apple Intelligence reportedly broke down due to privacy concerns and past disputes over App Store rules.

GTA 6 Release Date Might’ve Just Leaked? Here’s What We Know

0

Highlights

  • The GTA 6 potential release window was officially set for Autumn 2025.
  • A new leak suggests October or November as the most likely launch period to avoid overlap with other big games.
  • Rockstar has yet to officially announce the exact release date.

image

Caption – Do we finally have an update on when GTA 6 is launching? (Image credit – Rockstar Games)

Rockstar Games has been at work for years on what’s easily one of the most anticipated games ever – Grand Theft Auto 6. Its first trailer dropped at the end of 2023 and smashed multiple world records. But so far, Rockstar hasn’t confirmed the exact launch date for the game.

The wait for the game has turned into a popular meme online while we are all waiting. But not to give everyone any hope, a new leak might have given us a clue about when GTA 6 could finally arrive. Here’s what we know.

So, when is GTA 6 launching?

The only official word we’ve had is that GTA 6 is set to release sometime in Autumn 2025. But that’s a pretty wide window. Thanks to a fresh leak, we might now be able to narrow it down a bit.

Here’s what happened – Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive is also working on another game called Mafia: The Old Country. Its launch date was recently leaked on Steam, a popular online gaming platform. According to the leak, Mafia: The Old Country is expected to release on August 8, 2025.

Now, this is where things get interesting. Big-budget games (AAA titles) usually try not to launch too close to each other to avoid competing for attention and sales. In September 2025, both Borderlands 4 and NBA 2K26 are set to drop. So, with August and September already looking packed, October or November starts to look like the most likely launch window for GTA 6.

That timing would make sense as it fits the official Autumn 2025 window, gives GTA 6 plenty of space to dominate the holiday season, and also makes it eligible for The Game Awards, which typically happen in December.

Of course, nothing’s confirmed yet and all of this is still speculation for now. But if the leak is anything to go by, we might be playing GTA 6 sooner than expected.

FAQs

Q1. When is the official release window for GTA 6?

Answer. Rockstar Games has stated that GTA 6 is set to launch sometime in Autumn 2025.

Q2. What are the rumoured launch months for GTA 6?

Answer. Based on leaks, October or November 2025 seem likely, aligning with the holiday season and avoiding competition from other AAA game launches.

Q3.Why is the rumoured timing significant for GTA 6’s release?

Answer. A late 2025 launch would allow GTA 6 to dominate the holiday season, fit into the official release window, and be eligible for The Game Awards in December.

Apple Vision ‘Air’ Leaked Details Hint at Lighter And Sleeker Version With Titanium Build

0

Highlight

  • Apple Vision Air leaks highlight a lighter and sleeker device that may feature titanium components.
  • The headset might adopt a graphite/dark blue iPhone 5-era colour.
  • It could also drop the “Pro” name in favour of “Air.”
  • Leaked connector image shows a thicker design aligning with reports of two upcoming Vision headsets.

Caption – New leak reveals key details about the next-gen Apple Vision Pro models. (Image credit – Apple)

Leaks about Apple’s follow-up to the Vision Pro are picking up and the latest one gives us some interesting hints. According to a new leak on X (formerly Twitter), we should expect a lighter device that could be called the Apple Vision Air.

Shared by leaker Kosutami on X, the post reads, “Our next friend in the Vision lineup is so thin, features titanium to reduce weight, including the connectors and the battery, and all comes with iPhone 5-era black— which looks like graphite dark blue. And be noted: this might not called as —Pro but you can Air it out.”

There’s a lot packed into that one post. Firstly, the device is described as “thin,” suggesting a noticeable redesign.

Leaker also reveals that Titanium will be used not just in the headset, but also in the connectors and battery helping to bring down the weight. And finally, the colour is said to be similar to the iPhone 5’s black, which has a graphite or dark blue tint.

Kosutami also hints it might not carry the “Pro” name, possibly going with “Air” instead.

Later in a follow-up post, the leaker clarified that while aluminium will still be used for most of the exterior, it’ll have a “midnight black like surface.” The titanium will mainly be used inside, again to help with weight reduction.

image

That’s not all. Kosutami also shared a look at the new connector for the Vision Air in a completely separate post. The connector image shows what appears to be thicker than the standard Lightning port.

This leak lines up with what Mark Gurman reported recently, where Gurman revealed that Apple is working on two new Vision headsets. According to Gurman, one would be a lighter and more affordable version and another that will be designed to connect to a Mac.

FAQs

Q1. What is the Apple Vision Air, and how is it different from Vision Pro?

Answer. The Apple Vision Air is rumoured to be a lighter and sleeker follow-up to the Vision Pro, featuring a titanium build for weight reduction and possible design refinements.

Q2. What colour and design details have been leaked about the Vision Air?

Answer. The Vision Air may feature a graphite or dark blue color reminiscent of the iPhone 5 and could adopt a “midnight black-like surface” with titanium elements inside.

Q3. What new connector details are known about the Vision Air?

Answer. A leaked image hints at a thicker connector design, which differs from the standard Lightning port used in earlier devices.

New iPhone 17 Pro Leaked Render Reveal Sleek Unibody Camera Design

0

Highlights

  • Leaked iPhone 17 Pro design render shared on X showcases a sleek unibody camera design.
  • The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature the new camera design.
  • The ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air is also expected to introduce some new design elements.

Caption – New iPhone 17 Pro latest leaked render. (Image credit – @kdctweets on X)

The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to launch in less than five months and we already have several leaked images including dummy phone images floating around online. Recently, a new render was shared by X (formerly Twitter) user kanedacane giving us a fresh look at what the phone’s rear design could look like.

This new image shows off a possible unibody camera design, something that’s been rumoured for a while. While the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air is getting a lot of attention for its major design changes, the Pro models are also expected to get some visual upgrades, especially around the rear camera setup.

Leaks have suggested that Apple is planning a new camera bar design for the iPhone 17 Air, as well as for the Pro and Pro Max versions. Early reports hinted that this might mean a two-tone back, with the camera area in a different shade than the rest of the phone.

However, according to Mark Gurman, “The iPhone 17 Pro won’t have a two-toned back, I’m told. The camera area will be the same colour as the rest of the device.”

That’s exactly what the latest render from kanedacane tries to show. It is a clean, unibody finish where the camera bar blends into the rest of the back.

In any case, we have to take the leaked pictures with a pinch of salt. As with any render, we’ll have to wait until Apple officially unveils the iPhone 17 Pro to know exactly what it looks like. Even though the final product might have some subtle differences, some people online feel that a two-tone design might have looked better.

FAQs

Q1. When is the iPhone 17 Pro expected to launch?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to launch in less than five months.

Q2. What design changes are expected for the iPhone 17 Pro?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro is rumoured to feature a sleek unibody camera design where the camera bar blends seamlessly into the back, moving away from the previously speculated two-tone back.

Q3. Are the iPhone 17 Pro leaked images correct?

Answer. Leaked images and renders should be taken with a pinch of salt, as the final design can only be confirmed once Apple officially unveils the iPhone 17 Pro.

Samsung Responds After One UI 7 Update Paused, Hints at Rollout Resuming Soon

0

Highlights

  • Samsung halted the One UI 7 update shortly after its release for devices like the Galaxy S24, Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6.
  • Samsung claims the problems have been fixed.
  • Rumours suggest the rollout will resume from April 15 with updates to follow.

Samsung’s One UI 7 update rollout hit a sudden pause shortly after it began last week, and now the company has responded, though the details remain pretty vague. After months of waiting, Galaxy users were finally getting the update, only for it to be pulled back without much explanation.

The update was initially released for devices like the Galaxy S24, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6, but it was quietly removed from Samsung’s servers just a few days later. Confirming the pause to Android Authority in a statement, Samsung said it would share a new release timeline “shortly.”

The company said, “The One UI 7 rollout schedule is being updated to ensure the best possible experience. The new timing and availability will be shared shortly.”

While the company hasn’t explained what went wrong, some possible issues are now coming to light.

Tipster Ice Universe claimed that Samsung found a bug where some Galaxy S24 users couldn’t unlock their phones at all. In a post on X, the tipster said, “Samsung urgently reviewed the firmware withdrawal in other countries. Have you ever encountered a bug where your Galaxy phone occasionally cannot be unlocked?”

In a separate post, the tipster also mentioned that the update rollout might resume from April 15.


A Reddit user shared a strange bug where their lock screen appeared squished and stretched, making it unusable. While it’s unclear if this is the same issue Samsung is addressing, it definitely sounds like something that could halt a major software update. Other users have also reported problems like battery drain and even a security concern with the Secure Folder feature.

Android Authority previously reported that Samsung acknowledged the delay on its Korean community forums, calling it a maintenance issue. According to the company, those problems have now been fixed, and the update should start rolling out again soon.

Even if we don’t get the full story, fans have rightly pointed out that One UI 7’s launch is already shaping up to be one of Samsung’s most chaotic software rollouts to date.

FAQs

Q1. Why was the One UI 7 update rollout paused?

Answer. The rollout was halted due to various bugs, including phones being unable to unlock, stretched lock screens, battery drain, and Secure Folder concerns.

Q2. Which devices were initially receiving the One UI 7 update?

Answer. The update was released for Galaxy S24, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 devices before being pulled back.

Q3. When is the One UI 7 rollout expected to resume?

Answer. Samsung hinted that the rollout may resume soon, potentially starting from April 15, as suggested by a tipster. The company promises to share an updated timeline.

Google Rolls Out Veo 2 Video AI in Gemini for Paid Users

0

Highlight

  • Google’s new Veo 2 video generation model is exclusively available for Gemini Advanced (paid) users.
  • It allows users to create 8-second 720p videos using text prompts.
  • Veo 2 powers YouTube’s Dream Screen and offers enhanced realism, cinematic understanding and less visual distortion.
  • It’s rolling out globally in supported languages.

Caption – Google Rolls Out Veo 2. (Image credit – Google)

Google is now rolling out its new Veo 2 video generation model to the Gemini app. This AI model can create short videos just from text prompts, and is available on both the web and mobile versions of Gemini.

As of now, it’s not available to users on the free plan and only Gemini Advanced (paid) users can get the update.

Veo 2 is the upgraded version of Google’s earlier Veo AI, and was first introduced in December 2024. It also powers YouTube’s Dream Screen feature and is available through Vertex AI, Google’s cloud-based AI platform.

With Veo 2, Gemini Advanced users can generate 8-second-long videos just by typing a prompt in natural language. The videos are created in 720p resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and they can be downloaded in MP4 format. You can also find Veo 2 in the model picker menu inside Gemini.

Google says this feature is being rolled out globally in all languages supported by Gemini, but it might take a few weeks for everyone to get access. There’s also a monthly cap on how many videos you can generate and Google will notify you if you’re getting close to that limit.

Sharing is made easy too. You can tap the share button in the Gemini app to upload videos directly to platforms like TikTok and YouTube.

When Veo 2 was launched, Google said the model had better realism and detail compared to the first version. It also understands cinematic language, so you can mention things like camera angles, lenses or effects, and it will try to reflect those in the video.

Google also mentioned that Veo 2 is trained to hallucinate less, which means it’s less likely to generate odd visuals like extra fingers or distorted body parts. This makes the videos feel more natural and accurate overall.

Google also shared some demo videos with prompts used to generate them.

Prompt“A wide, slow-panning shot of an enormous glacial cavern, bathed in eerie twilight. Pale cyan light filters from above, illuminating frozen candy figures within the ice walls. Two figures in white exosuits, their helmet lights casting beams, trudge through the center. Capture the cavern’s scale and stillness.”

Prompt – “An animated shot of a tiny mouse with oversized glasses, reading a book by the light of a glowing mushroom in a cozy forest den.”

Prompt – “Aerial shot of a grassy cliff onto a sandy beach where waves crash against the shore, a prominent sea stack rises from the ocean near the beach, bathed in the warm, golden light of either sunrise or sunset, capturing the serene beauty of the Pacific coastline.”

Prompt – “Time-lapse of a voxel-style ice cream melting under a clear blue sky. The pink, grey, and white scoops slowly lose their shape, dripping down the yellow, blocky cone held by a large, voxel hand with a blue sleeve. Focus on the melting process, highlighting the changing texture and form of the voxel elements as the ice cream deforms and drips, creating a colorful, pixelated melt against the vibrant blue backdrop.”

FAQs

Q1. What is Veo 2, and who can access it?

Answer. Veo 2 is Google’s upgraded video AI model available to Gemini Advanced (paid) users. It allows them to create 8-second 720p videos using text prompts.

Q2. What makes Veo 2 different from its predecessor?

Answer. Veo 2 offers improved realism, understands cinematic language (e.g., camera angles, effects), and is designed to generate more natural visuals with reduced distortions.

Q3. How can Veo 2 videos be shared or downloaded?

Answer. Users can download Veo 2 videos in MP4 format or share them directly on platforms like TikTok and YouTube via the Gemini app.

Q4. When and where is Veo 2 being rolled out?

Answer. Veo 2 is rolling out globally across all languages supported by Gemini, with full access expected to take a few weeks. A monthly cap applies to video generation.

Google Search to Redirect All Country Domains to Google.com Globally

0

Highlights

  • Google will redirect all country-specific domains (e.g., google.co.in, google.fr) to google.com globally.
  • Search results will remain tailored to the user’s location, ensuring local content complies with laws and preferences.
  • The update is rolling out worldwide over the next few months.

image

Caption – Google Search to soon be Google․com globally. (Image credit – Google)

Google is making a big change to how people access its Search service across the world. Until now, users in different countries were taken to their local versions of Google like google.co.uk in the UK, google.fr in France, or google.co.in in India. These country-specific domains have been around for years to offer more localised search results. But that’s about to change. Here’s what we know.

Google Search Switching To Google․com

Google has announced in a blog post that it will start phasing out these country-coded domains and instead redirect everyone to google.com, no matter where they are. The idea is to simplify the experience while still showing results that are relevant to your current location.

This update might sound new, but it’s actually been in motion for a while. Since 2017, Google has already been using your real-time location to show local results even if you were using Google.com instead of a local domain. So now, the company is just aligning the website address with that same logic. One domain for everyone.

Does This Change How Google Works?

It’s important to note that this won’t change how Search works. You’ll still see results based on where you are. So if you’re in Japan, you’ll continue to see Japanese results, and if you’re in Brazil, your results will reflect that location. The only thing that might change is if you had custom settings like language or region preferences you might need to reconfigure those.

Google also made it clear that this update won’t impact how it handles content based on local laws or legal requirements. Even though the URL will be the same for everyone, the content will still be tailored to your location.

The company says the move will help create a simpler and unified user experience. With mobile and AI tools playing a bigger role in Search, Google believes the actual domain name isn’t as important anymore because your location data already does most of the work when it comes to showing you the right content.

Rollout Timeline

The shift is being rolled out gradually, so users around the world will start seeing this change over the next few months. Once it’s fully in place, if you type a local Google domain like google.ca or google.com.au, you’ll be automatically redirected to google.com.

FAQs

Q1. Why is Google redirecting all country-specific domains to Google.com?

Answer. Google aims to simplify the search experience globally while retaining location-based results tailored to users’ current locations.

Q2. Will the redirect to Google.com affect local search results or content compliance?

Answer. No, search results will remain localised based on real-time location and comply with regional laws, even with the unified domain.

Q3. When will the changes to Google Search domains be implemented?

Answer. The update is being gradually rolled out globally over the next few months, automatically redirecting users from local domains to Google.com.

  • The CMF Buds 2 will feature 48 db hybrid ANC, Spatial Audio, up to 55 hours of battery life and ChatGPT integration.
  • The Phone 2 Pro is launching on April 28 and was spotted on Geekbench.
  • The phone runs Android 15, features a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, 8GB RAM and a triple rear camera setup.

CMF by Nothing gave fans a brief surprise when the product page for the CMF Buds 2 went live on its official website. Although the page was quickly taken down, it revealed almost everything about the upcoming wireless earbuds including major upgrades in noise cancellation, battery life and sound quality. That’s not all. In a separate report, CMF Phone 2 Pro was spotted on the Geekbench website ahead of its launch on April 28th. Here’s a quick look at what we know about both devices so far.

The design of the Buds 2 sticks to CMF’s signature look, with a case available in Dark Gray, Orange, and a new Light Green colour. The earbuds come with 11mm “PMI” drivers, slightly smaller than the previous model, but now tuned with Dirac Opteo for what CMF says is “exceptional” sound quality.

One of the biggest improvements is in noise cancellation. The Buds 2 offer 48dB hybrid ANC, an upgrade over the 42dB in the previous version. They also bring Spatial Audio for a more immersive listening experience.

Battery life is another standout feature: you get up to 13.5 hours of playback on a single charge, with the case boosting total playtime to 55 hours, that’s 9.5 hours more than before.

Other upgrades include Bluetooth 5.4, support for both Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair, IP55 water and dust resistance and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. The Buds 2 will also include ChatGPT integration, similar to what’s found on Nothing phones, adding an AI-powered edge.

Pricing from the briefly available listing was shown as £34 (down from £39), €39.95 (down from €49.95), and $59.99. Sales were expected to begin April 16. These budget-friendly earbuds seem to be part of CMF’s plan to build hype ahead of the Phone 2 Pro launch later this month.

Here’s what the Geekbench listing reveals:

  • The device is running on Android 15, likely with the latest Nothing OS on top.
  • It scored 1,012 in single-core and 2,939 in multi-core tests.
  • The codename listed is “Galaga”, which matches earlier leaks.
  • The chipset appears to be octa-core, with four performance cores clocked at 2.5GHz and four efficiency cores at 2.0GHz.
  • It uses a Mali G615 MC2 GPU, suggesting it could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300, just like the CMF Phone 1 though this hasn’t been confirmed yet.
  • The model tested had 8GB of RAM, but more options could be available at launch.

A leaked image of the phone also suggests a triple rear camera setup, an upgrade from the dual cameras on the CMF Phone 1. Another nice change this time, a charger will be included in the box, unlike last time. The phone is also expected to feature a more refined design with better in-hand feel.

Meanwhile, previous reports suggested the CMF Phone 2 Pro will most likely feature a 6.77-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. It could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip, coupled with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
