Factory reset a locked iPhone can be a hassle. Users would have to connect the device to a PC to perform the necessary action. Now, it looks like you won't have to do that anymore, as the new iOS update is saving you some troubles by allowing users to directly reset a locked iPhone without connecting to any external devices.

Editing documents can be a pain for those of us who don't have Microsoft Office. You either use free software that doesn't work as well or the functionally still-lacking Google Docs. Fortunately, Google has been working on improving the platform.

In 2021, a service that trended for a time would be audio chat rooms. One of them is Twitter Spaces, which seems to be the more popular choice now. Its audio chat rooms previously had no recording function, but that's no longer the case.

Earlier, Google announced that it's adding a voice call feature to the Gmail app. Today, it is finally available on both iOS and Android app, and a video call feature also came with it. Therefore, from now on, users can directly perform those mentioned activities in the app rather than using Google Meet.

Finally, WhatsApp might soon allow users to create custom stickers on the messaging platform. The feature gets spotted and shared by tipster Mukul Sharma in a few screenshots on making stickers using our own images. If nothing goes wrong, it might get released with the upcoming update.

If you've been enjoying adding a song to your Stories since the release of the feature, you'll like this new one that Instagram is testing. According to the source, the social media platform is testing a new option for users to add music to feed posts too!

Sadly, Meta has announced that the rollout of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for Messenger and Instagram will get postponed to 2023. Therefore, it looks like there's still a long time to go before we get the highly demanded feature for the messaging services.

By now, some of you may have tuned in to a Twitter Space or two. If you haven't, it's essentially Twitter's answer to Clubhouse, an audio chat room feature that lets you host live podcasts. The features big downside is that there's no in-app feature to record it, but that could be added soon.

Have you ever seen an image you posted on Twitter get cropped in a weird way? If you have, you know why some people want it to be fixed. Well, Twitter confirmed that it was testing this feature back in March 2021. Now, it's coming to desktop users.

After Facebook changed its name to Meta to tell us how much the company cares about Metaverse, Microsoft soon jumped on the bandwagon by announcing Mesh as its own take on the technology concept. For the latter, it focuses on building an interactive platform for virtual experiences inside Microsoft Teams.
