Zoom is coming to Teslas


Yes, if you drive a Tesla, you might not be able to escape your Zoom meetings. The video conferencing app announced during its 2022 Zoomtopia conference that it'll "come standard on all new Tesla models soon." Zoom hasn't shared much of the details, though. We aren't sure yet if it needs additional hardware in Tesla vehicles or if it'll just roll out via a software update. We also don't know yet when it's coming. The infotainment systems on Teslas have many features already integrated into them. You can already stream Netflix and YouTube, do some karaoke, or even play games like Stardew Valley, Cuphead, and Fallout Shelter.

Instagram rolls out new web interface

Instagram makes it easy to scroll and use its web app. It's something we've had the past few weeks already, but with Instagram head Adam Mosseri's announcement, we're expecting it's finally gotten a wider rollout. Mosseri describes the new interface as a cleaner, faster, and more user-friendly experience on the app.

The menus are now in a new sidebar, giving you easier access to the feed, search, messages, notifications, and more. When you pull up things like notifications, it's shown on the left side of the site, so you can still see what's in your feed. Instagram hasn't brought its different feeds in this web version, though. And as 9to5Mac pointed out, there is still no iPad app, even if this new web version makes it clear it's possible to use Instagram on a bigger screen. Your option is to use this web version on your iPad, though.

Samsung's working on fix for problematic Galaxy Watch4 update

Some Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classic owners have been dealing with a particularly bothersome issue. After the R8xxXXU1GVI3 firmware update was released, some smartwatches refuse to turn on once they've been shut off. It's forced users to keep an eye on the charge of their Galaxy Watches. 

The issue doesn't seem to be affecting everyone, but Samsung has stopped rolling out the update in various markets and will be releasing an update with a fix soon. If you have the firmware update and haven't noticed any issue, it still might be better to err on the safe side to be sure.
