Instagram isn’t just for square photos anymore
You can already post images with a rectangular aspect ratio of 4:5, but with 3:4, your photo won’t be cropped at the ends. You can still post a square too.
My theory is that this is in response to the resurgence of people taking photos on actual cameras again. The tourists in NYC seems to love a dedicated camera - and I don't mean a DSLR, I mean an old school 'digital camera' point and shoot style.
It's a little sad – one of the things that made Instagram special was that it forced creativity into a square. Same as with Twitter – 140 characters made things fun.
Your work Gmail will now start automatically summarizing emails
Google's Gemini investment is coming to your inbox if you like it or not. Gmail now creates summaries automatically for complex threads, and they’ll appear above the emails themselves. These are already available but require you to request it manually. The update will just be for mobile, and it may take up to two weeks before you see the feature.
Apple's Operating Systems are being re-numbered
According to Bloomberg, the iOS16, or iPadOS3 will all align under the year of release. So: iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26. Will the iPhone be next? iPhone 25 and iPhone 26?
