Facebook announced that SMS messages will no longer be available when you update your Messenger app. If you use Facebook Messenger as your default SMS messaging app on Android, this feature will no longer be available after the update on 28 September 2023.

Blue Ticks beside your name or an organisation is one way to prove that you or the group are legitimate. It's a common feature on Twitter and it's finally coming to Facebook. You can find it straightaway if you type out Meta Verified on the Facebook search bar.

The Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) has revealed that Malaysians lost approximately RM302 million to online scams on Meta-owned platforms Instagram and Facebook. Moreover, the whopping loss amount is only for the period between January 2021 and June 2023.

As you should know, Telegram has finally agreed to work with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the Royal Police Force (PDRM) to combat cybercrimes on its platform. We have been wondering when MCMC would also take action against Facebook and the announcement has been made.

One of the things we always encounter in Malaysia is scams. Some are through phone calls or emails, while others try to trick us via social media platforms. And of the many popular platforms, Facebook seems to be the most scam-ridden.

By now, you should know scams in Malaysia have been quite prominent. Not only are we getting scam messages from our mobile phones, but they also exist in Facebook Ads which poses a huge problem. To address this problem, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil is going to take action.

In this upcoming WhatsApp update, WABetainfo.com reported that there would be a new sharing status update of Facebook Story for WhatsApp. Currently available in beta for Android 2.23.9.22 on the Google Play Store, here's what we know so far.

When it comes to advertising online, most systems let you set a budget and choose how you want your ad to be presented. For Facebook, you do this with the Meta Business Suite. The platform is mostly based on software, which means bugs can occur.

As you know, Twitter is the first company with the concept of verified social media accounts. Meta decided to jump on the bandwagon and started testing its Meta Verified in Australia and New Zealand last month. Now, the company is ready for the service to go live.

If you recall, non-fungible tokens (NFT) were the rage that companies tried to capitalise on but were met with a lukewarm reception from the netizens. Last year, Meta wanted to integrate NFTs into its Facebook and Instagram platforms to help creators and it looks like it's not turning out so great.
