Instagram is reportedly developing a new feature called "Your Space," a private area within your profiles where you can post anything you want: photos, Reels, and even stories. And these won't show up on the public profile.

Alessandro Paluzzi, a leaker and reverse engineer, revealed his discovery on X (formerly Twitter). He claims users can access Your Space by scrolling down their profiles. There, they can have a different bio and profile picture than their public ones.

It's a feature bringing the concept of having a finsta (fake Instagram) or a second account into your main one. The difference is that you don't have to switch accounts. People you've given access to see Your Space will be notified, and those removed won't. 

Instagram has not confirmed the existence of Your Space, but Paluzzi is confident that it will be launched soon. He says he is "almost certain" that it will work as he described it.

Uber to test TaskRabbit-like service in Edmonton

Uber

Uber plans to test a new service that lets users hire drivers from its app to do household chores and projects. The service, called Uber Tasks, aims to grow beyond its core ridesharing and courier business. It will start as a “small pilot” in Fort Myers, Florida and Edmonton, Alberta in the next few weeks.

Bloomberg first reported the news, confirming its previous report in September that found a new “Chore” option in the Uber app’s code. You can think of Uber Tasks as similar to TaskRabbit or Thumbtack, online platforms for freelance workers. The difference is that Uber Tasks is only for Uber drivers and couriers who can join the program.
