Instagram has introduced a new update that allows users to repost any public Instagram Story to their own profiles. Interestingly, this feature works even if you are not tagged in the original post. Announcing the new features in a post on Threads, Instagram’s official account wrote, “ever see a public story you’re not tagged in that you want to share to your own story? now you can.”

Here’s everything you need to know about the new features.

Instagram Allows Users To Reshare Any Public Story

The platform already enabled sharing regular posts to Stories back in 2018, following the initial launch of Stories in 2016. However, the Story resharing feature remained limited until now.

The “Add to your story” feature previously worked only when a creator specifically tagged another user with their @ handle. Without a tag, the only way to share someone’s Story was by taking a screenshot or recording your screen, which not only reduced image quality but also removed proper credit to the original creator.

The latest update eliminates these limitations, making Instagram’s sharing tools more aligned with familiar features like “Retweet” on X (formerly Twitter) or the “Share” function on TikTok.

How the New Story Reshare Works?

Instagram’s upgraded sharing system is built to improve how public content spreads across the platform.

The feature applies only to public accounts. Stories from private profiles will remain non-shareable, preserving their existing privacy rules. When users view a public Story, they will now see an “Add to Story” option, letting them instantly repost it. This sits alongside the usual options to share via DMs or external apps.

Meanwhile, any reshared Story will show the original creator’s username and link back to their profile, ensuring proper credit.

Privacy Options and Restrictions

Instagram has also included privacy protections for creators who prefer not to have their content circulated widely. Public account owners can head to the privacy settings and toggle the “Allow Sharing to Story” option. Turning it off removes the ability for others to share their public Stories, even if the content is visible.

The feature is currently rolling out globally for both iOS and Android users.

FAQs

Q1. What new feature has Instagram introduced for Stories?

Answer. Users can now repost any public Story to their own profile, even if they aren’t tagged.

Q2. Does the Instagram story reshare option apply to private accounts?

Answer. No. Only Stories from public accounts can be reshared; private Stories remain non-shareable.

Q3. How does Instagram ensure credit to the original creator?

Answer. Reshared Stories display the creator’s username and link back to their profile.

Starlink Clarifies India Website Glitch After Fake Prices Go Viral, Says Real Plans Will Be Revealed Post Govt Approval

Highlights

  • Starlink confirmed that the viral India pricing screenshots were placeholder data accidentally published, not official plans.
  • The service is still awaiting final clearance from the Government of India with rollout preparations ongoing across major cities.
  • Starlink is building gateway earth stations, hiring in Bengaluru and partnering with Maharashtra to expand satellite broadband to remote regions.

Starlink’s much-anticipated entry into India sparked fresh buzz this week after its local website briefly displayed what looked like official broadband plans. Screenshots of the pricing spread rapidly across social media, but the excitement was short-lived. The company has now confirmed that the prices were not real and were unintentionally pushed live due to a technical error.

Starlink Clarifies India Website Glitch

Lauren Dreyer, VP of Starlink Business Operations, addressed the situation on X, explaining that the leaked figures were simply placeholder data. She stated that the “Starlink India website is not live” and added that the information seen online “does not reflect what the cost of Starlink service will be in India.”

Dreyer reiterated that Starlink has not launched in India and is not accepting orders, contrary to early reports from several platforms.

The glitch displayed a residential plan priced at Rs 8,600 per month along with a Rs 34,000 hardware kit including the dish, Wi-Fi router, mounting equipment and cables. The page also mentioned unlimited data, 99.9% uptime, reliable operation during harsh weather and even hinted at location-based pricing and a possible business plan. Although those details were incomplete.

Despite the quick fix, the brief listing triggered widespread debates on affordability and rollout timelines.

When Will Starlink Launch in India?

Following Dreyer’s clarification, attention shifted back to the central question about Starlink’s official launch date. India remains in the “pending regulatory approval” stage on the company’s availability map, and while preparations have been underway for months, the service cannot go live without the government’s final clearance. However, industry chatter suggests progress is being made and Starlink appears confident about launching soon.

“We’re eager to connect the people of India with Starlink’s high-speed internet, and our teams are focused on obtaining final government approvals to turn service (and the website) on,” Dreyer said.

Starlink India Launch Plans

Reports indicate Starlink is laying the groundwork across several Indian cities. The company is said to be planning gateway earth stations essential for linking satellites to users in Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Noida. This will help provide stable, low-latency connectivity once services begin.

Hiring activity has also increased. Starlink recently posted multiple job openings at its Bengaluru office, particularly in finance and treasury roles, signalling that backend operations are being prepared for the commercial rollout. Positions include Payments Manager, Senior Treasury Analyst, and Tax Manager.

Even before its launch, Starlink is attracting interest from state governments. Maharashtra has officially taken the lead by signing a Letter of Intent with Starlink Satellite Communications Private Limited. The partnership aims to bring satellite broadband to remote regions such as Gadchiroli, Nandurbar, Dharashiv, and Washim. The agreement was announced in the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and IT Minister Ashish Shelar. Fadnavis welcomed the Starlink team in Mumbai, calling it an “honour” for the state to collaborate with the company.

Currently, the company is reportedly waiting Government of India’s final approval. Once cleared, Starlink will compete with Jio-SES and Eutelsat OneWeb, while also expanding India’s satellite internet ecosystem.

FAQs

Q1. Were the Starlink India broadband prices that went viral real?

Answer. No. Starlink confirmed the figures were placeholder data accidentally published due to a technical glitch.

Q2. Has Starlink officially launched in India yet?

Answer. Not yet. The service is still awaiting final government approval and is not accepting orders.

Q3. What preparations is Starlink making for its India rollout?

Answer. The company is building gateway earth stations in cities like Mumbai and Hyderabad, hiring staff in Bengaluru, and partnering with Maharashtra to expand satellite broadband to remote regions.

Fresh Leak Revives Under-Display Face ID Rumours for iPhone 18 Pro Launch in 2026

Highlights

  • Tipster claims Apple is testing micro-transparent glass tech to enable under-display Face ID for the iPhone 18 Pro in 2026.
  • Apple’s TrueDepth system complexity means the notch may not fully disappear, as other sensors still need placement.
  • Conflicting reports also surround under-display Touch ID for the rumoured iPhone Fold.

A new leak has once again sparked discussions around Apple’s long-rumoured plan to bring under-display Face ID to the iPhone. According to the latest claim, Apple is reportedly preparing to introduce the technology with the iPhone 18 Pro in 2026. Here’s the full story.

Under-Display Face ID in iPhone 18 Pro

Speculation around this feature began when the iPhone X debuted with the notch. Since then, reports have frequently suggested that Apple would eventually hide the Face ID system beneath the display. The rumours grew louder in 2025 with a September leak hinting that under-display Face ID was planned for the iPhone 18 Pro followed by a contradictory report in November stating otherwise.

The latest update on what Apple is planning for future iPhone displays comes from leaker account name Smart Pikachu on the Chinese platform Weibo. The tipster claims that Apple is testing a new display process that could make the feature possible.

Depending on translation, the method involves either “stitching” or “spliced” micro-transparent glass, a concept similar to existing micro-perforated or nano-patterned glass solutions previously used to enhance infrared transmission. The report was first highlighted by MacRumors and suggests that this technology may be advanced enough for suppliers to begin preparing for production.

While Smart Pikachu has no established track record with Apple leaks, they have reportedly been accurate with Android-related hardware information in the past.

Under-Screen Biometrics Still Complicated

This leak specifically refers to Face ID shifting under the display. However, moving the TrueDepth system beneath the panel may not completely eliminate the notch, as it currently houses more than just the Face ID module including the proximity sensor, ambient light sensor and the front-facing camera.

The uncertainty mirrors similar conflicting claims about under-display Touch ID, especially regarding the rumoured iPhone Fold set for 2026. Some sources say the foldable device will include the technology, while others deny it.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo firmly maintains that under-display Touch ID is unlikely for the foldable model, arguing that its thinner form factor would make such integration difficult. Instead, Kuo believes the device will rely on Touch ID embedded in a side-mounted button similar to the iPad Air.

FAQs

Q1. What new feature is Apple reportedly testing for the iPhone 18 Pro?

Answer. Apple is said to be preparing under‑display Face ID using micro‑transparent glass technology, targeted for the 2026 iPhone 18 Pro launch.

Q2. Will iPhone 18 Series under‑display Face ID completely remove the notch?

Answer. Not entirely. The notch also houses sensors like proximity, ambient light, and the front camera, which may still require space.

Q3. What about under‑display Touch ID in future iPhones?

Answer. Conflicting reports exist, but analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo believes the rumoured iPhone Fold will instead use a side‑mounted Touch ID button.

iPhone 16 Named The Best-Selling Smartphone Globally in Q3 2025, Apple and Samsung Domination Evident, No Samsung Flagships in Top 10

Highlights

  • The iPhone 16 lineup captured the top four global spots in Q3 2025 with the standard iPhone 16 leading at 4% share.
  • Samsung filled positions 5–9 exclusively with Galaxy A-series models, driven by its “Awesome Intelligence” AI features.
  • No flagship Galaxy S device made the list, highlighting a shift toward affordability.

Apple and Samsung once again filled all 10 slots on Counterpoint Research’s list of the best-selling smartphones for the third quarter of 2025. However, the split between the two brands tells a very different story this year. While both companies secured five positions each, Apple swept the top four places with its premium iPhone 16 lineup. This was in sharp contrast to Samsung, which did not place a single flagship device in the top tier.

The research highlights that the standard iPhone 16 remained the best-selling smartphone globally in Q3 2025, commanding a 4% volume share. This marks the model’s third straight quarter at No. 1. Even more notably, the entire top four was dominated by the iPhone 16 family including the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, and iPhone 16e. This was despite the series typically seeing a slowdown as consumers await newer releases.

Another standout was the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which secured the 10th position even though it hit the market near the end of the quarter. Its late entry and immediate traction signal extremely strong demand for Apple’s newest, most premium offering.

Samsung’s performance skewed heavily toward its affordable lineup. The company occupied fifth to ninth place with its Galaxy A-series models, led by the Galaxy A16 5G, followed by the Galaxy A06, Galaxy A36, Galaxy A56, and Galaxy A16 4G. Unlike previous years when the base Galaxy S24 made the Q3 2024 leaderboard, Samsung had no premium smartphone appear in the 2025 list.

Counterpoint Research suggests that Samsung’s push to add AI-powered features to its midrange portfolio through its “Awesome Intelligence” initiative could be fueling these sales.

According to the report, “The mid-price segment’s presence in the top-10 best-selling smartphones is expected to remain strong, driven by the growing integration of GenAI features.” It adds that these upgrades boost competitiveness, improve user value, and help narrow the experience gap with flagship models.

The absence of the Galaxy S25 from the rankings may reflect early seasonal weakness as customers anticipate the Galaxy S26 series. Still, it marks a significant gap for Samsung, as none of its top-performing models this quarter carried a wholesale price above $600.

The report also noted an important milestone that 5G smartphones dominated the top five spots for the first time, underscoring what Counterpoint calls “a key consumer preference across regions” during Q3 2025.

Overall, Apple’s premium strength and Samsung’s midrange momentum defined the quarter, painting a clear picture of current global consumer buying trends.

FAQs

Q1. Which smartphones dominated global sales in Q3 2025?

Answer. Apple’s iPhone 16 lineup took the top four spots, with the standard iPhone 16 leading at 4% share.

Q2. How did Samsung perform compared to Apple?

Answer. Samsung relied entirely on its midrange Galaxy A-series (A16 5G, A06, A36, A56, A16 4G), filling positions 5–9, while no flagship Galaxy S device made the list.

Q3. What key consumer trend was highlighted in the smartphones global sales in Q3 2025 report?

Answer. For the first time, 5G smartphones dominated the top five positions, showing strong global preference for advanced connectivity.

OnePlus Pad Go 2 – Unboxing and First Impression

Highlights

  • The OnePlus Pad Go 2 in-the-box accessories include a USB-C cable, 45W charger and documentation.
  • Other features include a 30.63cm display, MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra, OxygenOS 16.0.1, AI productivity tools, 8MP cameras and a 10050mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
  • It is set to launch on 17 December.

After much anticipation, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 is finally here. While there is still some time before this model hits the stores, we have managed to get our hands on it at MyMobiles. So, before we share the full review, here’s our first impression of the latest Pad Go 2 and a surprise unboxing.

OnePlus Pad Go 2 Unboxing

Pad Go 2 comes in OnePlus’ signature red and white retail box. The packaging is minimal and feels sturdy enough to protect the device. Opening the lid reveals the tablet sitting right on top. Underneath, the brand has neatly packed the accessories. You get the tablet itself, a USB-C cable, a 33W fast charger and the usual documentation.

Overall, the unboxing experience is clean, simple and gives a good sense of the Pad right from the start.

So, do you remember the 2023 OnePlus Pad Go? Well, if you don’t, we suggest you go back and take a look at that before we share more about the design of this successor. We feel it’s important to take a look back because it gives a positive initial impression of the new Pad Go 2.

Our first thought while getting the pad out of its box was pleasant. The dual-tone back finish is gone and instead, we have this classy appearing pad that feels premium right from the start. The design can remind you of some of the other competitive brands, but it’s definitely an upgrade in the design department.

We have the unit in Lavender Drift colour. It is a classy soft lavender hue that looks great. It has a subtle shine and a matte finish, which does an excellent job of resisting fingerprints and smudges. Altogether, the colour choice and back panel finish aren’t random and elevate the overall look of the pad. It is definitely a welcome change from the regular blacks or greys we usually get in this category.

The back panel follows a minimalist aesthetic with only a subtle OnePlus logo in the centre and the single camera lens top right-hand side corner. The camera lens placement also feels like a design upgrade when you compare it to what we have seen in Pad Go. The camera module sits neatly in the corner without sticking out too much. The buttons are placed comfortably on the right side with the power button on top.

The in-hand feel is also very robust. The boxy build with rounded corners and sharp edges makes the pad quite easy to hold. The pad is slim and lightweight with proper weight distribution.

Google has officially rolled out its Gemini 3 Deep Think model to select users, expanding its advanced AI lineup just weeks after the global launch of Gemini 3 Pro. It is positioned as Google’s next-generation reasoning-focused model and aims to tackle highly complex and niche problems across logic, mathematics, science, and multi-step reasoning. However, access to the model is restricted to the company’s most premium subscription tier.

Gemini 3 Deep Think Now Available for AI Ultra Subscribers

In a blog post, Google confirmed that the new large language model (LLM) has been released exclusively for users subscribed to the Google AI Ultra plan. The company described the model as designed for problems that “challenge even the most advanced state-of-the-art models.”

Only a small group of users paying Rs. 24,500 per month for the Google AI Ultra subscription can access the model. They can enable it through the Gemini website or app by choosing “Deep Think” in the prompt bar and selecting Gemini 3 Pro from the model picker.

Powered by New ‘Parallel Reasoning’ Technique

Google says Gemini 3 Deep Think’s performance is driven by a new method called parallel reasoning. Unlike traditional models that follow a single chain of thought, Deep Think evaluates multiple solution paths simultaneously. It then refines the results through iterative rounds and selects the most coherent final answer.

Interest in Gemini 3 Deep Think has surged since its initial mention last month, largely driven by its standout benchmark results. Google highlighted two tests in particular that contributed to the model’s early attention.

The first is Humanity’s Last Exam, a notoriously tough academic reasoning benchmark. Google claims Gemini 3 Deep Think scored 41 per cent without tools, the highest score to date and significantly above other AI models.

The second is the ARC-AGI-2 benchmark, an advanced reasoning test focused on visual puzzles that require code execution for solutions. Google reports a score of 45.1 per cent, calling the achievement “unprecedented.” Notably, the test is also viewed as an indicator of a model’s progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI).

FAQs

Q1. Who can access Google’s Gemini 3 Deep Think model?

Answer. Gemini 3 Deep Think is available exclusively to Google AI Ultra subscribers, costing Rs. 24,500 per month.

Q2. What makes Gemini 3 Deep Think different from other AI models?

Answer. It uses a new parallel reasoning technique, evaluating multiple solution paths simultaneously and refining results to deliver more coherent answers.

Q3. How has Gemini 3 Deep Think performed in benchmarks?

Answer. The model scored 41% on Humanity’s Last Exam and 45.1% on ARC-AGI-2, both unprecedented results that highlight progress toward advanced reasoning and AGI.
