If you’ve been trying to install or reinstall Tumblr on your iPhone, you might not be able to for now. The Tumblr iOS app isn’t available from Apple’s App Store. Tumblr says it’s “working to resolve an issue with the iOS app” but it isn’t clear if Tumblr took it down or it was removed by Apple. Some users have reported they’ve been able to re-download the app by going through their purchases page but at the moment, Tumblr said they are “still working on the issue with the iOS app.”

Some speculate the app has been taken out because of a certain type of inappropriate content that appears on the site. And as stated in Apple’s guidelines for iOS, there needs to be a content filter to screen out adult-oriented content. Earlier in the week, users were reporting that they were having issues searching within the iOS app when Safe Mode was off. Perhaps the company is sorting this out right now. Apple and Tumblr hasn’t commented yet on the cause of this issue.

Facebook might soon let you watch videos with someone else on Messenger

Earlier this year, Facebook launched at feature that let people in Facebook Group’s watch videos in sync together. It seems this might be something that’s coming to Messenger. Developer Ananay Arora discovered a new code added to Messenger that suggests there will be a “Watch Videos Together” feature on the messaging app. It’ll work similar to Watch Party in that you can drop a video in a thread, ping the person or group thread so you can all watch at the same time. It’s presumed this will work with videos hosted on Facebook, which would make sense but could also mean you can’t do remote Netflix marathons on this. Facebook told TechCrunch this is an internal test so don’t expect to see it anytime soon. But since it’s something that already exists in another part of Facebook.

New Wear OS update brings battery-saving features

Google is bringing some new features we’re more than happy to welcome to its Wear OS platform. The new “H update,” as the company calls it, is bringing important things like a new Battery Saver Mode, which will kick in automatically when it falls below 10 percent. Your Wear OS smartwatch will also fall into “deep sleep” if it hasn’t been worn for 30 minutes. There’s also a new “Smart App Resume” feature that will keep your place in Watch Apps if you leave them and then decide to come back. And there will also be a new two-step power off so you don’t have to dig through the power menu in the settings.

Wear OS team says the update will be rolling out to users over the coming months but cautions that some wearables might not be immediately eligible for the update. The smartwatch manufacturers will determine when to roll this out and functionality may vary by device.
