Huawei P40 Series launch will be an online-only event

As concerns of the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) mount, we see more and more events getting cancelled. The latest casualty is Huawei's P40 launch, which was supposed to take place in Paris, France. In its place, the company will be hosting an online event on March 26, which Huawei did for the launch of the Huawei Mate XS last month following the cancellation of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

Huawei is expected to launch three variants of the flagship series: the Huawei P40, Huawei P40 Pro, and Huawei P40 Pro Premium Edition. Revu reported on some of the rumoured camera specifications that it believes to refer to the Huawei P40 Pro Premium Edition. The prolific tipster who shared the specs claims it's for the standard Huawei P40 Pro, but with what's been presented, it could well be the most premium of the line.

Facebook's latest test lets Stories users cross-post to Instagram

Cross-posting with Instagram used to be a one-way street. Instagram users were able to share their Stories to Facebook, but not the other way around. Now, the company is working on a new tool for Facebook Stories users to cross-post to Instagram Stories. App researcher Jane Manchun Wong first discovered the "Share Story to Instagram" toggle within the Story Privacy settings. If you switch this feature on, a "Share to Story" button will appear on your post.

Facebook confirmed that it is testing the feature now. It isn't clear when it will be widely released or if it will allow both apps to sync a Story's view so you can avoid watching the same cross-posted Story twice. But we will let you know for any updates.

Observing proper hygiene is one crucial way to help keep the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) at bay. And that doesn't just extend to your person, perhaps its time to take a look at the things you regularly use, too—say, your smartphone. You may or may not know, but your phone is one of the dirtiest items you own. So, it might be a good idea to clean it now. 

For iPhone users, Apple updated its device cleaning tutorial with a paragraph saying it's safe to use 70 percent isopropyl or Clorox wipes on Apple devices like the iPhone iPad, iMac, and MacBook. Apple previously said it didn't recommend using these products because they might scratch the display, but now it's singing a different tune.
