Meta is testing a “dislike” button on the Instagram app in comments and reels to allow users to flag posts that are unpleasant or irrelevant.

Social media users are used to flagging posts they like or identify with using the button or icon of a hand with a thumb up or a heart.

In contrast, the dislike button will express whether the user does not agree with a comment, whether they consider it negative or unimportant.

Through his account on Threads, the head of the app, Adam Mosseri, has indicated that for now there is no record or count of the “dislikes” and that they remain private. That is, the user cannot see who has marked the content or reel with this new function.

Mosseri has indicated that they hope that this function will contribute to making the content more user-friendly.

Open AI is already testing its new SearchGPT feature for ChatGPT search with Plus and Teams subscribers.

With this search engine prototype, OpenAI seeks to compete with browsers like Google, offering customers “fast, up-to-date answers with direct links to information sources.”

Since the beginning of 2024, the technology company began working on this search engine. Now it has launched the test with Plus and Teams subscribers, incorporating a service that “seeks to facilitate the way users access information and make their queries more natural.”

It works like any browser; once the query is made, ChatGPT will offer the information directly from the web “and, as you delve deeper into follow-up questions, ChatGPT will consider the full context of the chat to obtain a better answer.”

SearchGPT is an automatic feature. However, it allows you to search manually by clicking on the web search icon. On the other hand, subscribers can consult the sources through the ‘Sources’ button below the answer. Clicking on the icon will display a sidebar with the references.

OpenAI has indicated that this function will be available “through chatgpt.com, as well as in the chatbot’s mobile and desktop applications.” It will soon arrive in Enterprise and Edu.

Netflix is ​​testing the redesign of its home page on a preselected group of users, which replaces static tiles with predictive dynamics to improve the user experience.

The study period, according to The Verge, includes several new features “that make the main home of the application less static.” When the remote control is placed on the icons or boxes, they expand, adding dynamism to the process.

To announce this change in the functionality of the Netflix home page, the platform shows “a trailer and more information at the top of the interface when you hover over it.”

This is a redesign that simplifies the presentation, so that all information to the user is presented more prominently.

“Just like today, when you land on a title, a trailer will start playing and below the box, you will find all the information about a title, including its synopsis, the year it was released, the number of episodes and its genre,” they have indicated.

The changes, according to Pat Flemming, senior product manager at Netflix, are aimed at making it easier for users at home to determine if a title is appropriate for them.

Regarding the new menu, this section reduces some of the previous options on the left side, including the Categories, New and Popular and My List tabs, although My Netflix is ​​added.

At the end of the tests, the comments and evaluations of the preselected clients will be analyzed to establish if it is extended to the rest of the users.

In a sign of openness to digital currencies, DZ Bank, Germany’s second-largest bank, announced that it will test cryptocurrency trading for corporate banks this year.

DZ Bank has a portfolio of 700 corporate lenders. It recently announced its late-2024 cryptocurrency pilot plan, which aims to “give customers direct access to a variety of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, without the need for financial advice.”

The trend of increasing adoption of digital currencies in the global market, in addition to the demand for new investment mechanisms by clients, has accelerated DZ Bank’s decision to launch its pilot plan.

The second-largest German bank plans to allow the 700 member cooperative banks autonomy to decide whether to offer cryptocurrency trading to their clients. Initially, a partnership with DWP Bank was planned for the trading pilot. Currently, there is speculation that new partners could join the initiative.

It is important to highlight that the joining of DZ Bank in cryptocurrency trading occurs after the launch of a crypto custody platform in November 2023 “that takes advantage of Ripple’s technological solution to offer secure storage and processing of digital assets.”

At the moment, DZ Bank is awaiting the cryptocurrency custody license from the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).

WhatsApp modified a limit on its platform to allow the sending of larger files and documents, up to 2GB, as part of a test started with users in Argentina.

The messaging application allows you to send files of up to 100MB through chats, an insufficient limit in a context of remote work and distance relationships that sometimes requires greater freedom in sending documents.

It is precisely due to this demand made by users that WhatsApp is now trying to respond to, and for this a test has begun in Argentina, for which the file size limit goes from 100MB to 2GB, as indicated by various media Communication.

The test started for users from this South American country, but the contacts to whom they send files of up to 2GB can be from anywhere in the world. They can access it from the Android and iOS apps and also from the web and desktop versions.

Google announced the launch of an additional billing system that serves as an alternative to its official application store, Google Play, which began its tests with Spotify and will allow this application to bill users directly.

Currently, the terms of service require applications to use the integrated payment method of the Google Pay store, for which the company takes a commission from each purchase made in these apps.

As the company pointed out on its blog for developers, its official application store was created “with the highest standards of privacy and security so that users can be sure that their confidential payment data will not be at risk when they make purchases in the application.”

Therefore, it opened the door to alternative billing systems that “comply with equally high security standards” to protect user information and facilitate purchasing processes. It has done so following the steps it took last September in South Korea, which became the first country to require Google Play and Apple’s App Store to allow developers to include external payment systems.

Google also indicated in this statement that, after launching this additional billing system in the Asian country, it is exploring billing at the option of users in “other selected countries.”

Facebook Messenger has launched a new option that allows its users to make voice or video calls with end-to-end encryption, a security feature that only allows call participants to access data.

The messaging app has given more privacy controls to users, who already had end-to-end encryption in chat messages since 2016 and are now able to activate the function also in video calls, as announced in a statement by Facebook.

Call encryption is an optional feature that users can enable if they wish. It offers protection to users against hackers, so that calls are encrypted, except for the participants, nobody can know the keys in the process.

Likewise, Facebook Messenger has introduced updated controls for messages that disappear automatically, in which users can now choose more options, so that the content expires between five seconds and 24 hours.

Facebook has also announced other news that will come soon to Messenger. The app will begin testing end-to-end encryption in group chats, including voice and video calls. The new feature will be piloted in the coming weeks. It will be accompanied by controls to avoid unwanted interactions, such as selecting that only friends can send chat requests.

A new feature is the option to protect Instagram direct messages with end-to-end encryption, which works in a similar way to Messenger chats. This novelty will be tested among a limited group of adult users of the social network in some countries.
