Facebook to expand its live chat feature for locked-out users

Facebook has been testing a live chat feature that helps users locked out of their accounts communicate with the company. Guy Rosen, Meta's chief information security officer. said during a recent press call that it has seen "positive results" from the experiment. Canada was part of the initial rollout of the experience in December 2021. Now, Meta is looking to bring this feature to more than 30 countries as part of the expanded experiment.

Aside from introducing its first flip smartphone, OPPO also updated its book-style Find N during its recent OPPO INNO Day event. The OPPO Find N2 is thinner and lighter than its predecessor. It's a bit narrower at 72.6mm when closed (down from 73mm). Its thickness is 14.6mm when closed and 7.4mm when opened (down from 15.9mm and 8mm, respectively). 

OPPO updated its Flexion hinge to reduce its parts from 138 to 100 and use advanced materials like carbon fibre and high-strength alloy. These factors help reduce the OPPO Find N2's weight to 233g. It also helps shrink the crease by 67%, making it less visible. It can hold any angle between 45 and 125 degrees. This allows things like shooting at the waist with the Hasselblad-inspired waist-level finder or using it as a tripod for other photo needs. You can place it on a desk for hands-free video calls or while watching your favourite shows, movies, and other content.

When Instagram's Notes feature started showing up on my app, I was immediately transported to the height of Yahoo! Messenger. But these days, it wants to make the feature a rival to Twitter. The feature has been tested for months, but it looks like Meta found the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the chaos at Twitter.

Notes lets you attach a 60-character status to your profile, which shows up in your Instagram messages. This feature joins Instagram's new BeReal-like feature and its other collaboration tools.
