Facebook will merge all videos into the Reels format, removing distinctions between standard videos and reels for a simpler sharing experience.
Users will continue to use existing editing tools, music, and audience settings with prompts to confirm or update privacy preferences.
The Video tab will be renamed to the Reels tab with global rollout planned over the next few months for profiles and Pages.

Meta has announced a big change coming to the Facebook app. Soon, all videos on Facebook will be shared as reels, removing any restrictions on video length or format.
Announcing the change in a blog post, Facebook says, “Every day, people use Facebook to share content that helps them connect with friends, capture memories and showcase their interests. Now, we’re making it easier to share videos on Facebook by simplifying how you create and post videos. In the coming months, all videos on Facebook will be shared as reels, eliminating the need to choose between uploading a video or reel.”
As of now, users can choose to upload a video to their Feed or post a reel. But in the coming months, that choice will go away. Facebook is merging its video and reels into one unified format to simplify the editing and uploading process.
You’ll still be able to enhance your content using the same editing tools, effects, and music options, no matter the video length. Meta is also keeping the audience settings unchanged, so you can choose to share your video with just friends or with the public.

The company writes, “When you begin posting reels after this change, you’ll be prompted to confirm your audience setting or select a new one if your Feed posts and reels have different settings. You’re still in control of who sees your reels and will continue to have access to the same audience settings and controls as before, so you can share them with just your friends or a select group of people if you like.”
Caption – Facebook is also introducing the Reels tab. (Image credit – Meta)
As part of the change, the Video tab will be renamed to the Reel tab. Meta says this won’t affect how videos are recommended. Instead, users will continue to see reels of all lengths based on their interests.
Rollout Timeline
Meta will gradually roll out these updates to Facebook profiles and Pages globally in the coming months.
FAQs
Q1. What change is Meta making to Facebook video uploads?
Answer. Meta announced that all videos on Facebook will soon be shared as Reels, removing the need to choose between uploading a video or a Reel.
Q2. Will users still have control over who sees their videos?
Answer. Yes, users will be prompted to confirm or update their audience settings, and can still choose to share with friends, a select group, or the public.
Q3. What happens to the existing Video tab on Facebook?
Answer. The Video tab will be renamed to the Reels tab, but this won’t affect how videos are recommended, they’ll still be based on user interests.
If you follow Apple’s rumour mill closely, you would know that the Cupertino Giant is dedicatedly working on Apple’s first foldable iPhone. Several reports have already confirmed this but it appears we might finally have the device on its way.
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple has reached a major development milestone and is now preparing for the early stages of production. Here’s what we know.
Apple’s Foldable iPhone to Launch in Late 2025
Kuo, in one of their recent posts on X (formerly), revealed that Apple’s manufacturing partner Foxconn is likely to begin production by late September or early October 2025. The device is expected to officially launch in fall 2026 as part of the iPhone 18 lineup. However, Apple is still finalising a few internal parts, especially the hinge, because it’s focused on long-term durability.
That’s not all, Kuo also shared some key details.
Galaxy Fold-Like Design
According to Kuo’s post, one key detail that has been finalised is the foldable display. Samsung Display will supply 7 to 8 million panels with the phone featuring a 5.5-inch screen when folded and a 7.8-inch screen when opened. The design will be similar to the Galaxy Fold, folding inward like a book.
Apple is reportedly working on a minimal-crease hinge and may include under-display cameras. Because of limited internal space, Apple might skip Face ID and go with Touch ID instead. The phone is said to be around 4.5mm thick when open and 9–9.5mm when folded.
Foldable iPhone Will Have Limited Availability
Moreover, as many would expect, the foldable iPhone is expected to carry a hefty price tag between $2,000 and $2,500. Apple clearly plans on making it a luxury product.
Apple has reportedly ordered 15 to 20 million units to cover a 2- to 3-year product cycle, pointing to a limited and niche rollout rather than a mainstream launch. Still, Kuo cautions that Apple’s plans could change before mass production begins.
“It’s worth noting that all plans remain subject to change prior to the official project kickoff,” Kuo concludes.
FAQs
Q1. When is the foldable iPhone expected to launch, and when will production begin?
Answer. Apple may begin early production by late September or October 2025, with the official launch expected in fall 2026 as part of the iPhone 18 lineup.
Q2. What are the design and display specifications of Apple’s foldable iPhone?
Answer. It will feature a Galaxy Fold-like inward folding design with a 5.5-inch display when folded and a 7.8-inch screen when unfolded, supplied by Samsung Display.
Q3. How much will the foldable iPhone cost, and will it be widely available?
Answer. The device is expected to be priced between $2,000 and $2,500, with Apple reportedly ordering 15 to 20 million units for a 2–3-year product cycle, suggesting limited availability.
Ahead of the June 24 launch, the brand has confirmed that the Poco F7 will be priced under Rs 35,000
Expected specs – Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, 12GB LPDDR5x RAM (expandable to 24GB via Turbo RAM), UFS 4.1 storage and a 6,000mm² cooling system.
It packs a 7,550mAh battery with 90W fast charging and 22.5W reverse charging.
Poco P7 – Pricing

Poco is all set to launch the Poco F7 in India on June 24 and new details keeping surfacing online ahead of the release. Recently, the brand has hinted at the possible price segment via its Flipkart landing page and an official poster. And it turns out, Poco F7 will be priced under Rs 35,000 (approx $400).
This aggressive pricing puts the Poco F7 in direct competition with the iQOO Neo 10, which also runs on the same Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. But Poco isn’t just stopping at the processor.
Poco P7 – What Else We Know?
The Flipkart page now confirms that the F7 will come with 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM and support for up to 24GB of Turbo RAM (virtual RAM). It will also offer UFS 4.1 storage for faster read/write speeds. To keep the phone cool during gaming or heavy usage, it includes a 6,000mm² heat dissipation unit.
Battery life seems to be another major highlight. The F7 will pack a massive 7,550mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging. On top of that, it features 22.5W reverse charging, so you can even use it as a power bank to charge other devices.
The Poco F7 is expected to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which is currently only available in China. Interestingly, the Indian variant keeps the same 7,550mAh battery, while the global version might come with a slightly smaller 6,550mAh unit.
While the Poco F7 and iQOO Neo 10 are going head-to-head in the sub-Rs 35,000 segment, the Nothing Phone 3 is also expected to use the same Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip. However, it could be priced much higher, between Rs 50,000 ($580) and Rs 60,000 ($690), positioning it as a more premium offering.
FAQs
Q1. What is the expected price and launch date of the Poco F7 in India?
Answer. The Poco F7 is set to launch in India on June 24, with a price tag of under ₹35,000, making it a competitive option in the mid-range flagship segment.
Q2. What are the key performance and hardware features of the Poco F7?
Answer. The phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, include 12GB LPDDR5x RAM (expandable up to 24GB with Turbo RAM), UFS 4.1 storage, and feature a 6,000mm² heat dissipation unit for thermal control.
Q3. How large is the battery on the Poco F7, and what charging features does it support?
Answer. It will pack a 7,550mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging and 22.5W reverse charging, enabling it to double as a power bank.

OnePlus has just introduced its latest neckband-style headset in the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z Series.

Let’s see how OnePlus’s latest audio gear fares in our hands-on OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 Review.

OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 – UNBOXING
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 – Design and Build Quality
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 – Design and Build Quality
To start with, let’s talk about the design. OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3, if you remember how the previous generation model looked like, wouldn’t look very different. OnePlus has clearly decided to stick to the same design. The whole concept of wireless neckband headsets has definitely fallen back with TWS earbuds gaining popularity but there are obviously some specific takes out there.
The silicon headband connected to the earplugs via a small but perfectly sized wire. The headband is lightweight and comfortable with the overall weight of the device being just 26g. It has a smooth finish and soft feel. The lightweight design also helps if you want to keep the headsets hanging on neck when not in use.
We didn’t really feel any discomfort even during long hours of usage.
We had the Sambo Sunset colour variant for this review, which is too vibrant of a colour for a wearable audio device. If you aren’t into vibrant tones, you have another Mambo Midnight (black) colour option to choose from.
Just like the Bullets Wireless Z2, the back of the earbuds in Wireless Z3 also comes magnetic pull that snaps together when not in use. These also have an auto-connection or disconnection feature, which is quite useful when you are not using the headset.
The build quality is decent for the price. It has an IP55 rating, which means you can rest worry-free about sweat or even light rain. Having said that, we are assuming you have to be careful about immersing these in water, which will definitely cause damage.
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 – Audio Quality
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 – Audio Quality
The OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 come with large 12.4mm drivers and connect via Bluetooth 5.4, supporting both SBC and AAC codecs. And just to make it clear, these are the same specs we have seen in the previous-gen headband as well. Sound-wise, they follow OnePlus’ familiar tuning and have balanced mids and treble with a heavy dose of bass.
The bass is extremely boosted. While it seems fun for bass-heavy tracks and some users may even enjoy it, but it can feel overwhelming for some users. It can surely get loud enough. In any case, this is quite subjective. Meanwhile, the mid-range is actually very pleasant. Vocals sound smooth, giving a warm and natural feel to the music.
The treble holds up well, too. It also delivers clear details without sounding dull. There is also 3D Spatial Audio that promises a 360-degree sound field. Moreover, OnePlus has customisation features with four professionally-tuned EQ presets to sync with the kind of music you are listening to. You get preset options such as Balanced, Serenade, Bass and Bold.
There are also AI Call Noise Cancellation and environmental noise cancellation features. What’s missing, however, is the active noise cancellation feature.
Overall, the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 are a good option for bass lovers who want a budget wireless option with good mids, decent treble and clear call/audio quality.
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 – Battery Life
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 – Battery Life
Battery life is where Bullets Wireless Z3 scores well. It comes with a 220mAh battery capacity and promises up to 36 hours of battery life with 50 per cent volume. This sounds like something that can support more than a day’s use. After testing it with moderate to heavy hourly use, we can say a fully charged Bullets Wireless Z3 can easily run for a full day with some juice left. This means if you are a moderate user, the headset could last over 3-4 days on a single charge.
As of charging, we have fast charging support with a USB Type-C port. The brand claims a 10-minute charge will give the headset up to 27 hours of power.
Verdict – Should You Buy OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3?
Verdict – Should You Buy OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3?
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 comes in a familiar design with 12.4mm dynamic drivers and support for AAC and SBC codecs. The headset has an IP55 dust and water resistance rating, an in-line remote and Bluetooth 5.4 support for Google Fast Pair. The AI Call Noise Cancellation and ENC work quite well, though you won’t get ANC support here. With up to 36 hours of battery life and fast charge support, you can easily expect these to run smoothly for at least a couple of days with moderate use.
Overall, these new neckband-style OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 promise to be a good audio accessory that checks most of the compulsory boxes. If you are looking for an affordable neckband-style audio device, these are worth your consideration.

A Pixel 9 Pro jokes in the video that iOS 26’s Live Translation, Hold Assist and Call Screening have been available on Pixel devices for years.

Playful rivalries in the tech world aren’t new and are often a constant reminder that great ideas can come from anywhere. This time, we are getting some fun banter over iOS 26 features Apple recently announced.
Following Samsung’s recent digs, Google is now having some fun at Apple’s expense after the launch of iOS 26. In its latest #BestPhonesForever ad, Google gently teases Apple for adding features to iPhones that Pixel users have been using for years.
The video was released on June 17 and features a light-hearted chat between a Pixel 9 Pro and an iPhone. As the iPhone excitedly talks about iOS 26’s new features like Live Translation in messages, Hold Assist and Call Screening, the Pixel calmly replies that it’s had all of them for a while.
Google further highlights that Live Translate came with the Pixel 6 in 2021, Hold for Me arrived on the Pixel 5 in 2020 and Call Screen has been around since the Pixel 3 in 2018.
The ad ends with a cheeky moment when the iPhone asks what’s coming in the Pixel 10, hinting that Apple might again “take inspiration” for its next release.
While the tone is playful, Google’s message is clear that many of iOS 26’s headline features aren’t exactly new in the smartphone world. Samsung also recently poked fun at Apple, mocking iOS 26’s Liquid Glass look and limited AI features in comparison to its own One UI 7 and Galaxy AI tools.
Online reactions are mixed. Some users enjoy the friendly back-and-forth and point out how Apple is catching up with Android. Others note that Android often borrows from iOS too, so the inspiration goes both ways.
The timing is no coincidence since Google is gearing up to launch the Pixel 10 series in August. Rumours suggest upgrades like a telephoto lens on the base model and improved wireless charging.
