iMessage-like Windows 10 'messaging everywhere' feature omitted from Summer update

Microsoft has reportedly decided to drop the "messaging everywhere' feature in Windows 10's Anniversary edition. The feature sync's messages across all your Windows 10 devices and PCs, similar to what Apple's iMessage and Messages apps have done for years on iOS as well as Mac devices signed into a specific email address. 

The feature is supposedly enabled by turning on the "Send texts on all my Windows devices" enabled users to send and receive text messages from the Messaging app on their computer that synced directly with the app on their phone. There's no ETA on when this feature will grace Windows 10 devices.

Facebook introduces photo slideshows

Making it easier for you to share multiple photos from a single event, Facebook is introducing a new Slideshows feature into the app. So, if you’ve shot more than five photos or videos in the span of a day, Facebook will collate these into a slideshow and put it on top of your News Feed. You’re then free to customize the slideshow to your liking. It has 10 different themes at the moment with a number of background music and overlays. The themes include Inspired, Nostalgic, Playful, Night Out, Birthday, Epic, Thankful, Tropical, Bollywood, and Amped.

At the same time, you can select the “Try It” button if a friend’s slideshow appears on your feed. If you’ve seen one of those Friendship videos on your feed, it works similar to that. The feature launches globally but it’s only available for iOS users at the moment.
