You can now share Instagram posts to your stories

Similar to how you can share what you’ve been listening to on Spotify to Instagram Story, you can now share your posts and public posts in your timeline, too. When you share a post on Story, it’ll come up like a sticker and will have the original poster’s username and a link to the original post. It’s an easy way to promote brands or friends to your other followers. If you don’t want other people sharing your content, there is an option in settings you can toggle. Simply scroll down and look for the “Allow Others To Reshare” option. If you have a private account, you don’t have to do anything. The feature is rolling out on Android already. iOS users will be getting the feature in the coming weeks.

Microsoft makes gaming more accessible with Xbox Adaptive Controller

Microsoft's new Xbox Adaptive Controller is a revolutionary device for more inclusive gaming. Designed to help assist various Xbox One and Windows 10 users and gamers, the Xbox Adaptive Controller, which was revealed in time for GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day) shows Microsoft truly wants to make its products, experiences and ecosystems more accessible to all users.

"By taking an inclusive design approach and considerations of gamers who might not be able to reach all the bumpers and triggers or hold a controller for an extended period of time, for example, we were able to design a controller that provides a way for more fans to enjoy gaming. On our journey of inclusive design, we have taken a wider view of our fans and a more inclusive approach to designing for them," Microsoft's Phil Spencer notes on the Microsoft Blog.

The game developer quickly mentioned that the game is coming to Android “this summer.” Unfortunately beyond a general window, the developers didn’t elaborate. We’d just have to wait and see in the coming months or, hopefully, weeks.
