Stolen shot of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 shows its new cover screen

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is one of the most anticipated foldable phones of the year. And we've already seen plenty of leaks about it. The latest one gives us a glimpse of the phone in its folded state, showing the cover screen design that makes it look closer to the new motorola razr+ than its predecessor. A stolen shot of the phone shows it hidden behind a case typically seen on pre-release devices.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 is expected to have a 3.4-inch AMOLED screen with 720 x 748 resolution. It can supposedly run Google-optimized apps like Maps and YouTube on top of showing notifications like with the existing Flip4. This phone is seen with two cameras on the rear, which are expected to be the same 12-megapixel wide and ultrawide lenses on the Flip4. The side shows the volume and power buttons, with the latter expected to serve as a fingerprint scanner, too.

Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, has announced new parental control tools for its platforms. These tools are designed to create a safer and healthier online environment for young users and their guardians. One of the new features is a parental supervision hub in Messenger, which lets guardians monitor their teens’ privacy and safety settings, contact list changes, app usage time, and report history. This hub is rolling out in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada. 

The hub is part of the Meta Family Center, a central place where parents and guardians can find resources and tools to help manage their teens’ experiences across Meta technologies. The hub will also allow guardians to see who can message their teens—only their friends, friends of friends or no one—and who can view their stories. The guardians will also get notifications if the child changes any of these settings or reports someone.
