Tile partners with Amazon to compete with AirTags

Tile will be joining Amazon Sidewalk on June 14, which will allow Tile Bluetooth trackers to take advantage of Amazon's network of Bluetooth devices (like the Ring and Amazon Echo). Tile users will also gain access to Amazon Alexa, allowing them to ask Alexa-enabled devices to find their items (just say "Alexa, find my [item]). It will be helpful in a home with Amazon Echo devices, but Tile CEO CJ Prober believes it will be useful outside the home, too. This partnership helps Tile compete better with Apple's AirTags and its Find My network.

Amazon to postpone Prime Day in Canada, India due to rising COVID-19 cases

Amazon has recently announced it would pause Prime Day here and India as the countries face the worsening spread of COVID-19. The two-day discount event doesn't have a rescheduled day yet for either country. 

Last month, Canada's COVID-19 infection rates overtook the US for the first time since the pandemic began. The country has also been facing lagging vaccination rates. India is experiencing an even more devastating rise, with the country accounting for 46% of new COVID cases worldwide in the past week.

Outside of the two nations, Amazon will bring Prime Day back. But instead of it taking place in July, Amazon will hold it in June.

Twitter no longer crops images

Twitter has gotten rid of its algorithm crops on pictures. So, if you upload a photo on iOS or Android, you'll see the image in its entirety. Those who take a lot of vertical pictures are very happy with this change, as CNET reported. Before this, the service's algorithm would determine the most sensible part of the picture to crop and just show a preview on the feed. And while it does take out the surprise element of previewed images, this change helps visual artists and photographers on the platform showcase their work in the way they're meant to be seen.
