Twitter's in-app tipping feature made its debut on iOS first. But now, it's coming to Android, too. The feature allows you to set up a "tip jar" on your profile where followers and fans can send money to you directly. You can link your Cash App, Patreon, Paypal, Venmo, or Bandcamp with the app. The company also has plans to let you tip or receive tips in Bitcoin too.

This Belkin 3-in-1 charger can fast charge the Apple Watch Series 7

Belkin has launched a wireless charger that can charge the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously. The Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad is built for Apple's latest devices, so it has a MagSafe charging puck that can top up the iPhone 13 at 15W (12W for iPhone 12 and 13 mini). It can also fast-charge the Apple Watch Series 7 models, making it the first third-party accessory to do so. It even charges 33% faster than Apple's new charger, getting up to 80% in 45 minutes. The Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 retails for US$150 (around CA$190 converted).

If you just want a fast-charge your Apple Watch Series 7, Belkin also launched the Portable Fast Charger for the Apple Watch. That retails for US$60 (CA$76).

One long-overdue feature on Instagram is arriving on iOS first. Instagram head Adam Mosseri revealed on Twitter that Instagram will now let you delete a photo or video from a carousel post. You just need to tap on the three dots icon and then the edit button. You then need to swipe over to the photo or video you want to get rid of and tap the delete icon. As mentioned, it's rolling out to iOS first, but it's coming to Android soon.

Users in the US are getting a new "Rage Shake" feature, which is what it sounds like. If a feature on the app isn't working right, just shake the phone to have its bug report interface appear. That will help you inform Instagram about the issue. Mosseri says it'll help the company prioritize the bugs it needs to fix.
