Meta, a.k.a. the company previously known as Facebook, might be looking at opening brick-and-mortar shops. The New York Times reported that the company had been discussing this option since last year and before it rebranded into Meta. Nothing has been finalized about the plans, though, and Meta could still scrap it.

Twitter is rolling out a new feature for Spaces that will let non-Twitter users access the audio conversations. Hosts and listeners can now send anybody a link to a broadcast. And these users can listen in via the web without needing to sign in or register. Of course, they can't participate or use the features, but it expands the feature's reach. And perhaps even entice these people to start using the app.

Google's first foldable device is expected to arrive in 2022, but it might not get the camera setup you'd want. 9to5Google reported in a recent APK teardown that the rumoured device will most likely get four cameras. A 12.2-megapixel IMX363 primary lens, 12-megapixel IMX386 ultrawide camera, and two 8-megapixel IMX355 front-facing cameras. The identical sensors are said to be for the outer and inner display, probably to offer the same camera quality whether the phone is folded or not.
That primary sensor isn't what you see on the new Pixel 6 series. Instead, this foldable Pixel phone (codenamed "Pipit") will reportedly use the Pixel 5's camera. The existing Pixel flagships have a larger sensor, which led to that distinctive camera bar on the Pixel 6. But with foldables that are typically built to be slim, that extra millimetre for the camera bump might not be the best idea.

It looks like Twitter and Instagram have buried the hatchet. It's been nine years since Instagram pulled its Twitter photo integration. But now it's back. Twitter has begun rolling out preview cards for Instagram links on mobile and the web. So, if someone shares an Instagram post on the platform, you'll see a thumbnail of what the post is about.
It isn't clear what changed, but it should be helpful for users who want to take out some of the guesswork of what someone's Instagram link might be like.
