Apple's Music Memos app is no more

Apple has officially shut down its Music Memos app. The company announced back in December that it will retire the app after March 1. Music Memos was a quick way for musicians and songwriters to capture song ideas while they're on the move or away from any easier means to jot down ideas on the fly. The app is no longer available on the App Store, but those who've installed the app before March 2 can still re-download it from their App Store purchase history.

The company wanted users to export their Music Memos to Voice Memos to ensure they still had access. Apple focused on improving the latter to encourage more users to use Voice Memos. It says users can still quickly capture song ideas with Voice Memos, and then bring these recordings to GarageBand.

Instagram is launching a new live streaming feature called Live Rooms. It will let four people at once on a live broadcast, which was previously only limited to two. According to the Facebook-owned company, it hopes the feature will encourage users to do things like start a talk show or podcast, collaborate with others, or hold "jam sessions."

Having more people on an Instagram Live can potentially grow its audience as the participants' followers can see if the Live is streaming. But The Verge pointed out that anyone blocked by the active participants won't be able to join the Live Rooms.
