News & Reviews:   testing

Just when you thought YouTube is done with two unskippable ads for the video platform, it seems that the company is bumping up to five for a foreseeable future. Do note that nothing is final as YouTube just recently started testing five unskippable ads before the video starts playing.

Reposting is considered an important feature on social media. By doing so, you could share the things you came across with even more people, especially with your social circle. With that said, Instagram might soon add a new tab to store all your reposted pictures on your profile.

BeReal is a social media app that notifies the users to snap a picture within two minutes at a random, predetermined time each day and share it with others. Compared to another popular image-sharing platform Instagram, BeReal emphasizes its users being real without all those filters, likes, and followers. Today, it's discovered that Instagram might be taking the idea and implementing it on its platform as well.

Up to five profiles? How does that work? Well, this is still a test and has not been released yet by Facebook. But it does look like some initiative to encourage current Facebook users to stay on the platform instead of moving to other social media platforms.

These days, companies are really trying to take advantage of having non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in whichever platform they are having. Instagram is the latest player to join the bandwagon and it has begun testing NFTs.

Today, Twitter just announced a new feature called Twitter Circle. If you ever feel like tweeting something but not to everyone online, then this feature might be the one for you and here's how it works.

In an unexpected twist, Elon Musk became Twitter's largest shareholder and even asked if Twitter users want an 'edit' button. Obviously, it was a resounding yes from the community and this has kind of forced Twitter to reveal that the team has been working on it since last year.

YouTube is testing a new way for you to react to the videos, rather than an old-school thumbs up or just plain comments. According to the latest report, the video streaming platform is experimenting with time-specific emoji reactions, which is something that you'll definitely find familiar.

A Windows feature that most of us would like to have might be making its way to Windows 11. According to the latest information, Microsoft has started testing tabs for File Explorer in the latest build of the operating system (OS). 

Twitter is working on another feature, and this time, it's something that the users have been requesting. According to the latest information, the social media platform is currently testing the downvote button, which basically allows the users to "unlike" a tweet.
