Facebook is planning to merge chat features across Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp

%name Facebook is planning to merge chat features across Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In an ambitious plan that will reportedly involve thousands of engineers, Facebook is embarking on a new initiative designed to integrate the messaging services across Instagram, WhatsApp, and of course, Facebook Messenger. Originally brought to light via The New York Times, the overarching goal is to allow users from any of the above platforms to chat with each other.

2019’s most ‘exciting’ new smartphone design ended up being flat-out awful

%name 2019’s most ‘exciting’ new smartphone design ended up being flat out awful by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Just over two weeks ago, we were one of the first news sites to cover the most intriguing smartphone leak we’ve seen in years. An industry insider posted teaser photos of a mysterious handset codenamed “The Waterdrop,” and our interest was piqued. Considering our coverage of that leak drew in more traffic than any other smartphone post we’ve published so far in 2019, our readers’ interest was obviously piqued as well. Details were scarce for the first few days, but it appeared as though a Chinese smartphone maker called Vivo was working on a new handset with an innovative design that was unlike anything we had ever seen before. In fact, it was quickly shaping up to be the most exciting new smartphone design of 2019. Despite the fact that we were learning about the phone for the first time, the insider said that the phone was set to be unveiled on January 24th.

Well, January 24th has come and gone, and The Waterdrop has been unveiled as the new Vivo Apex 2019. Sadly, and despite all of the buzz that the phone drummed up on Thursday, this new phone didn’t even come close to living up to the hype.
