Separately from the External Offers program, Google also this week launched two other programs to allow alternative billing systems for in-app purchases.
While the bookmarking icon is within easy reach on X at the bottom of the post, the new feature on Threads is a bit more hidden.
That’s because Instagram is rolling out new Threads features in phases over time, not to all of the Threads user base at once.
Bookmarks aren’t the only new feature being spotted by Threads users.
Another Threads user noticed they’ve now begun to receive notifications from Threads and Facebook in their Instagram notifications.
In another effort to grow its app, Threads also began testing a cross-posting feature from Facebook to Threads, the company confirmed last week.

It is possible that these formatting options would also help the AI-powered bots to show responses neatly.
We’ve covered Lego Fortnite since it launched last month, when the new title lured in 2.4 million simultaneous players.
A little over a month after its launch, Lego Fortnite’s content was beginning to run dry for players who dove in headlong in December (present company included).

So far, Lego Fortnite is Fortnite’s most compelling alternative offering — and a game that’s likely to build more momentum as the updates keep rolling in.
X, formerly Twitter, today announced support for passkeys, a new and more secure login method than traditional passwords, which will become an option for U.S. users on iOS devices.
Today we’re excited to launch Passkeys as a login option for our US-based users on iOS!
For instance, this January, the U.S. Securities and Exchange’s X account was hacked to share an unauthorized post regarding Bitcoin ETF approval.
In the days since Musk’s takeover of Twitter/X, the company removed another security measure that helped keep accounts secure when it announced last year that it would no longer support SMS 2FA for non-paying accounts.
However, the reality was that removing the security protection made Twitter less secure, as a result.
In addition to a new gesture-powered search feature for Android devices, Google today also introduced an AI-powered addition to its visual search capabilities in Google Lens.
However, Google clarified that while the Lens multisearch feature is offering generative AI insights, it’s not the same product as Google’s experimental genAI search SGE (Search Generative Experience), which remains opt-in only.
The AI-powered overviews for multisearch in Lens are launching for everyone in the U.S. in English, starting today.
Google notes that its genAI products — like its Google Search Generative Experience, for example, will cite their sources, to allow users to fact-check its answers.
The AI overviews for multisearch in Lens arrive today, while the gesture-based Circle to Search arrives on Jan. 31.

Unfortunately, memories get fuzzy, and forgetting to take — or doubling up — medicines can have disastrous consequences.
The company takes a fresh look at the market, with a good-looking device to keep its users’ medicine intake on track.
My Memo is a closed box that makes the medicines inside inaccessible — helpful to prevent casual theft and child safety, for example.
The product is a relief within the constant buzz of notifications and fitness goals and the relentless race against time.

But the company will be the first to support Matter Casting, the video- and audio-beaming feature of the Matter smart home standard, on its smart displays and smart TVs, Amazon announced this morning at CES 2024.
Once Matter casting comes to Amazon’s Prime Video app for Android and iOS, users will be able to cast content to supported Amazon devices — starting with the Echo Show 15 — by tapping the new dedicated Matter Casting button.
Beyond the Echo Show 15, Amazon says that Matter Casting support will arrive on Fire TVs including smart TVs from Panasonic with Fire TV built in, and — on the app side — Plex, Pluto TV, Sling TV, Starz and ZDF later this year.
Tellingly, Google announced this week that its casting tech, Chromecast, will be built into all of LG’s new TVs — but gave no mention of Matter Casting.
The Matter Casting spec — which was developed with major input from Amazon — can accomplish more than casting, in theory.
