It is a visit into what can be called the darker parts of her ledger, especially with the visit to the Red Room. It's a training program that turned her into the superspy.

Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha/Black Widow, and this time she is joined by Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, David Harbour as Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz as Melina.

Facebook's latest test lets Stories users cross-post to Instagram

Cross-posting with Instagram used to be a one-way street. Instagram users were able to share their Stories to Facebook, but not the other way around. Now, the company is working on a new tool for Facebook Stories users to cross-post to Instagram Stories. App researcher Jane Manchun Wong first discovered the "Share Story to Instagram" toggle within the Story Privacy settings. If you switch this feature on, a "Share to Story" button will appear on your post.

Facebook confirmed that it is testing the feature now. It isn't clear when it will be widely released or if it will allow both apps to sync a Story's view so you can avoid watching the same cross-posted Story twice. But we will let you know for any updates.

You may or may not know, but your phone is one of the dirtiest items you own. So, it might be a good idea to clean it now. 

For iPhone users, Apple updated its device cleaning tutorial with a paragraph saying it's safe to use 70 percent isopropyl or Clorox wipes on Apple devices like the iPhone iPad, iMac, and MacBook. Apple previously said it didn't recommend using these products because they might scratch the display, but now it's singing a different tune.
