News & Reviews:   social media app

Following the speculated news of our Malaysian government possibly creating a new social media app, it didn't take long for Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil to debunk it. Long story short - he said it would be "too costly for the government to build its own social media platform".

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.

No app is safe from privacy invasion reports, and that includes TikTok. According to the latest news, the short video platform could obtain your data through the in-app keyboard. However, the company has claimed that it doesn't do that.

To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Instagram is rolling out an update that can bring you back to the time when the polaroid icon existed. The latest update allows users to customize the app's icon with several interesting designs including the nostalgic polaroid icon that we miss so much.
