O WhatsApp está desenvolvendo uma opção para customizar a barra padrão de reações com emojis, permitindo que os usuários substituam qualquer uma das seis opções predefinidas pelo emoji de sua preferência. No entanto, esse recurso deverá fazer parte de um novo conjunto de funcionalidades para assinantes do WhatsApp Plus, conforme informações do WABetaInfo.
Os usuários poderão substituir qualquer emoji por outro do teclado e fazer quantas alterações quiserem — bem como restaurar a barra de reações padrão a qualquer momento. A imagem abaixo mostra uma tela de “reações padrão” com o conjunto predefinido de emojis, à esquerda, e uma versão personalizada, à direita.
Atualmente, o conjunto padrão inclui os seguintes emojis: polegar para cima (👍), coração vermelho (❤️), rosto chorando de rir (😂), rosto surpreso (😮), rosto chorando (😢) e mãos juntas (🙏). Esses emojis são os mesmos para todos os usuários, independentemente de suas preferências; para reagir a uma mensagem com um emoji diferente, é preciso tocar no botão “+”, de modo a abrir o teclado completo de emojis.
A opção para customizar a barra padrão de reações com emojis está em desenvolvimento para iOS e ainda não foi liberada nem mesmo para os testadores da versão beta.
Se você acompanha os stories das contas que segue no Instagram, já deve conhecer o botão de reação, representado por um coração. Com ele, é possível reagir a uma postagem sem precisar escrever um comentário — como se estivesse curtindo o conteúdo do story.
Caso assine o Instagram Plus, você pode enviar supercorações (Super Hearts), que deixam os stories dos seus amigos mais especiais, com animações de corações vibrantes que explodem na tela.
Com o app aberto, abra uma publicação dos stories (no topo da aba do seu feed). Ou, se preferir, localize um perfil e abra a bolinha para ver esses posts.
Mantenha o ícone de coração pressionado para ver a animação de supercoração na tela.
Com a disponibilização do Instagram Plus, é possível tirar proveito de alguns recursos extras na rede social da Meta.
Um deles é a possibilidade de alterar o ícone do aplicativo, que aparece na Tela de Início do seu iPhone ou iPad. Dentre as opções disponíveis, está o ícone original do Instagram!
After falling in love with Disneyland Handcrafted, I was excited to dive into the studio's latest documentary movie, Disney Worldbuilders. Directed by Leslie Iwerks, the new movie has a tiny runtime of 58 minutes and call me greedy, but I really wanted more.
Disney Worldbuilders gets up-close-and-personal with some of Disney's most influential voices, where we learn about creative processes and their lasting impact on both cinema and the Disney Parks around the world.
Even though I loved what I saw, I did feel as though Worldbuilders tries to squeeze too much into its runtime. Unlike Handcrafted, which solely focuses on Walt's vision for Disneyland in Anaheim, this jumps around between subjects, and I wish we'd had an episode for each person interviewed so we could've taken a deeper dive.
The stacked line-up is made up of Bob Iger, James Cameron, Jon Favreau, Kevin Feige, Jennifer Lee, Pete Docter, Dave Filoni, Jared Bush, and Josh D’Amaro. That's a lot of people to talk to in under an hour, so I really wish we'd had more time with all of them!
Bob Iger in particular deserves a documentary of his own, and I hope we get one so we can properly examine the huge impact he's had on the Walt Disney Company, because it's not to be sniffed at. His segments didn't seem to fit with the rest of the interviews.
Still, that doesn't mean Worldbuilders is not worth your time. Far from it, in fact; I think it gives some really valuable and inspiring insights from some of the biggest names across Disney properties like Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel, and it's hard not to smile when you're greeted with this footage.

The scale of the Disney Parks really is fascinating, and I liked how we were able to see the early days of areas such as Hollywood Studios' Galaxy's Edge and Animal Kingdom’s Pandora, especially how the directors of those movies responded to seeing their creations come to life. Now, fans get to walk through the worlds we see on screen, and the constant innovation going on across the global parks is jaw-dropping.
I found myself getting emotional during certain parts, particularly Jennifer Lee's reaction to World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris. Seeing her wandering around with Olaf and reflecting on her relationship with her sister is incredibly touching, given how Anna and Elsa are such inspirational figures to a lot of people out there.
Even though the interviews with each subject are short, we do get a lot of heartfelt anecdotes which I found to be very interesting. As someone who has been enamored with filmmaking from a young age, it's inspiring to see how these amazing creatives can help shape future attractions for all ages. In Worldbuilders, they reflect on their own childhoods and how they ended up working for one of the biggest media companies in the world.
Ultimately, this would have worked so much better in an episodic format because I could have happily watched eight hours of this, as opposed to the one hour we did get. I am hopeful that Disney will do more long-form Parks-focused documentaries like this, especially ones that talk to the creatives responsible for writing these worlds we know and love.

Disney is “exploring a free product” for streaming customers, CEO Josh D’Amaro confirmed in a call with investors today.
D’Amaro, who succeeded Bob Iger as Disney’s chief in March, said that a free Disney-owned streaming service would help Disney reach more “price-sensitive” customers, which is a “strategic priority” for Disney, according to a transcript of the call.
A free streaming service would also generate more ad revenue, which has become increasingly important for streaming services challenged by plateauing subscriber numbers, subscriber churn, and competition from cheaper and free rivals.
“Apple Glasses” concept designed by Martin Hajek for iDrop News
Apple is laying groundwork to turn its long-rumored smart glasses into a health and fitness platform, according to a recent job listing highlighted by Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman.
In his Power On newsletter, Gurman pointed to an opening in Apple’s Vision Products Group for a “strategic product design leader.” The role is tasked with helping “define the future of health, well-being and fitness experiences across vision products.” The successful candidate would “translate ambiguous opportunities at the intersection of spatial computing, wearables, consumer health, and human behavior into clear first-party product direction.”
The posting, which lists locations in Los Angeles and San Jose, also emphasizes experience with “sensor-driven experiences,” digital health or fitness products, personalization, and multimodal interfaces. Cult of Mac noted that the Los Angeles option may reflect proximity to Apple Fitness+ studios in Santa Monica.
This builds on earlier ambitions for the Vision Pro. Gurman reported that Apple had explored an Apple Fitness+ experience on the headset that would let users follow workout classes while body-tracking cameras analyzed form. Those plans were shelved due to technical challenges and the device’s weight, which made it impractical for exercise.
Smart glasses, expected to be a lighter, more everyday alternative similar in concept to Meta’s Ray-Ban AI glasses, offer a better form factor for such features over time. Sensors, cameras, and accelerometers could eventually support workout tracking, form analysis (for activities like weightlifting or yoga), and other biometric insights.
Gurman and other reports indicate these advanced health capabilities are unlikely to debut with the first-generation glasses, currently anticipated around late 2027 (with a possible earlier reveal). Instead, Apple is expected to follow its pattern with the Apple Watch and AirPods: launch the core hardware platform first, then expand health and fitness features across subsequent generations.
The job listing provides one of the clearest public signals yet of Apple’s longer-term vision for its eyewear and other vision products as potential companions to the Watch and AirPods in the company’s health ecosystem. As always with Apple rumors, timelines and final features remain subject to change.
MacDailyNews Take: We feel like we’ve been waiting for Apple’s AR smart glasses for forever!
The Apple Glasses will be the key as holding up slabs of glass as “windows” is suboptimal. When we’re running in a race, for example, we don’t want to have to hold an iPhone or even glance at an Apple Watch, but with a pair of Apple Glasses constantly overlaying time, pace, splits, etc. it’ll be ideal! — MacDailyNews, September 6, 2019

Fun fact: whenever I have days that I work remotely, I'll always have an episode of Bob's Burgers on in the background. In fact, I watch all 16 seasons of the hit Hulu and Disney+ animated comedy so often, that I could tell you exactly what episode was on without directly looking at it.
I felt incredibly prepared for the handful of Bob's Burgers quizzes already on the internet claiming to be the hardest, but nobody has yet been able to truly test the reams of random knowledge I've acquired from watching the series so often.
Should I be able to tell recite the lyrics to the song that plays over Tina and Tammy's first time collectively ditching class in season 2? Probably not.
So, behold — the genuinely most difficult Bob's Burgers quiz that I have played to date (because I made it). If you get more than 80%, I'll assume that you're actually a Wharf resident who's somehow found their way into the real world.
I have left out anything that happens in The Bob's Burgers Movie, but you'll need to have seen seasons 1-16 in order to answer all of the questions.
Check back when Bob's Burgers season 17 (hopefully) airs in early 2027... you know that the above will be updated accordingly.
Apple has not officially announced any first-party security camera, but multiple reports from analysts and journalists indicate the company is developing one (and possibly related products like a video doorbell) to compete more directly with Amazon’s Ring and Google’s Nest. The effort forms part of a wider smart-home hardware expansion that also includes a home hub and updated speakers.
Core Rumors and Sources
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported in late 2024 that Apple was preparing a wireless smart home IP camera for mass production in 2026, with ambitions for millions of units annually and assembly by Goertek. The device is described as designed for tight wireless integration with other Apple products and expected to leverage Siri and Apple Intelligence.
Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman has repeatedly covered Apple’s smart-home plans, stating the company is working on multiple types of cameras and home-security products. One reported design is a battery-powered camera lasting several months to a year on a charge. It would include facial recognition and infrared sensors to identify people in a room, supporting automation such as turning lights off when someone leaves or playing preferred music for a recognized family member. Users are expected to place cameras throughout the home for both security and presence-based automation.
A Face ID-equipped video doorbell has also been rumored; it could recognize residents and wirelessly unlock a compatible deadbolt. Reports suggest the doorbell may lag behind the primary security camera in development.
Internal code references to a device codenamed J229 (mentioned in late 2025 reporting) describe capabilities including image capture, alarm-sound detection, and multiple sensors (features obviously consistent with a security camera). Some coverage linked support for it to a spring 2026 software window, though timelines have since been described as more fluid.
Expected Features and Ecosystem Fit
Any Apple camera would almost certainly rely on HomeKit Secure Video, which already provides end-to-end encrypted streaming and recording to iCloud+ (with local analysis on a home hub such as a HomePod or Apple TV). Apple has recently expanded the platform: iOS 27 and related software add 4K support for compatible cameras, AI-generated text descriptions of footage, natural-language search across clips (e.g., “package delivery”), and grouping of noteworthy events across multiple cameras. These AI features reportedly require a higher-tier (2 TB) iCloud+ plan.
An official Apple camera would be expected to offer deeper, native integration than third-party options—potentially stronger on-device intelligence, seamless Siri/Apple Intelligence features, and privacy guarantees aligned with Apple’s usual approach (encrypted video that even Apple cannot access). Specifics on resolution, night vision, field of view, indoor vs. outdoor designs, or exact form factor remain unconfirmed.
Timing and Status
Early reports pointed toward 2026 availability, with some speculation around a spring window or a March 2026 “Apple Experience” event. More recent coverage (as of mid-2026) treats the latter half of 2026 or later as the more realistic window, noting that earlier expectations have slipped and that no official confirmation, pricing, detailed specs, or prototypes have been made public.
Apple already supports a limited selection of third-party HomeKit Secure Video cameras (from brands such as Eve, Aqara, Logitech, and others). A first-party device would give the company direct hardware control and a clearer path to showcase new Home app and Apple Intelligence capabilities.
MacDailyNews Take: Credible info from Kuo, Gurman, and others consistently points to Apple developing at least one battery-powered, privacy-oriented security camera with facial/presence sensing for automation, plus possible related products such as a Face ID doorbell. Everything remains unannounced and speculative on exact design, price, and launch date as of late July 2026. Further clarity will depend on official statements or stronger supply-chain evidence.

Apple brings AppleCare One to the UK, giving customers a new way to cover multiple Apple products with one simple plan.
Apple on Monday announced AppleCare One — a new way for customers to protect multiple Apple devices under one simple plan — is available in the UK. Starting at £16.99 per month, AppleCare One covers up to three products, with the flexibility to add more at any time for £4.99 per month per device.
With AppleCare One, customers receive comprehensive, one-stop service and support from Apple experts across every product in their plan — delivering affordable peace of mind. Beginning August 4th, customers in the UK can sign up for AppleCare One at apple.com or their nearest Apple Store. Those who already have an AppleCare+ plan can also sign up directly on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
“At Apple, we’re focused on creating and delivering exceptional experiences,” said Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, in a statement. “With AppleCare One, customers in the UK can now enjoy the trusted protection of AppleCare+ in a way that’s simpler and more flexible than ever before — one plan, one price, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing all their eligible products can be covered.”
One Plan, Incredible Value
AppleCare One includes all the benefits of AppleCare+, including fast and unlimited repairs for accidental damage, battery replacement service, and 24/7 priority access to Apple experts. All repairs are performed using genuine Apple parts at Apple Store locations and the vast network of Apple Authorised Service Providers.
Customers can enroll their eligible Apple products in the plan for the same great price, meaning a customer protecting their iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch together can save up to £11.48 per month compared to maintaining separate AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss plans for each device.
Protect Already-Owned Eligible Devices
AppleCare One gives customers greater flexibility to protect the devices they already have. Eligible products that are up to four years old can be added to a plan, provided they are in good condition, opening up coverage well beyond the current 60-day window to purchase AppleCare+.
Coverage That Evolves with Users
AppleCare One is built to keep pace with customers’ changing needs. When customers upgrade by trading in a covered product and purchasing a new product directly from Apple, the old product is automatically removed from the plan and replaced with the new device — so customers never have to think twice about staying protected. And as a monthly subscription, AppleCare One makes it simple to maintain coverage across as many products as customers want, for as long as they want, with the ability to add or remove devices from their plan at any time.
AppleCare+ Plans Add Theft and Loss Coverage for iPad and Apple Watch
Alongside the launch of AppleCare One, Apple is also bringing AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss to iPad and Apple Watch in the UK. The single-device plan option is now available for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, protecting customers against up to two incidents of theft or loss per year on top of battery replacement service, priority support from Apple experts, and unlimited repairs for accidental damage.
MacDailyNews Take: Learn more about AppleCare One and sign up by visiting apple.com/uk/applecare.

It's no secret that we're beyond spoiled for choice when it comes to crime dramas, and that's just considering what's available to us on mainstream streaming services. But getting one that truly shakes us to the core is a lot rarer.
So when I stumbled across The Crow Girl season 1 on Paramount+, my mind was melted to mush by the time I got to the finale. In short, DCI Jeanette Kilburn (Eve Myles) and eminent psychotherapist Dr Sophia Craven (Katherine Kelly) join forces to hunt the killer of young men, but there's a lot more going on than meets the eye.
By the end of season 1, it was revealed that Victoria Burkeman, a prime suspect in the case, was actually Craven herself. She killed her father after he killed their daughter — meaning Victoria was sexually assaulted by her dad while her mum knew and did nothing to stop it.
It's heavy stuff, but I cannot stress enough how unexpectedly the reveal was, and how cleverly the clues were woven through the storyline.
18 months later and I'm pleased to say that The Crow Girl season 2, now on the streamer and Channel 5, doesn't disappoint... and that means a whole new level of shocking reveals.
The Crow Girl season 2 ending leaves Kilburn for dead, but Craven — now her lover — isn't responsible
It's important to remember that when we find out that Craven is actually Victoria, Kilburn is none the wiser. With the two women drawn to each other, a romantic connection sparks... secretly, seeing as Kilburn is technically cheating on her husband in the process.
Drama! Things get even worse in the finale, when the entire police station, which includes Kilburn's boss, finds out that she's been accidentally sleeping with the prime suspect in their murder case (the case itself hasn't changed since season 1).
Here's where the story gets more complicated. While we've known that Craven and Victoria are one, Craven apparently doesn't know herself. Kilburn explains that she's got DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), meaning that Victoria is likely responsible for every murder they've investigated so far, including her own dad.
At this point, Kilburn is forced out of the station and threatened with questioning the next morning, but Craven is back at the manor she used to be abused in, unwilling for the party being thrown there to do any further damage to young girls.
Craven entices Kilburn there, and by the time she arrives, all of the guests are dead with the girls safely hidden. But as Victoria takes over Craven's mind, a surviving abuser shows up and shoots at the pair, hitting Kilburn in the leg. Don't panic though... after some further antagonizing, Craven pops one in his head. But will Kilburn pull through?
I genuinely don't see how The Crow Girl season 2 could be any more unhinged. If we're lucky, season 3 will be renewed, with the original book series telling us that Craven will learn how to "blend" her identities.
Sign me up, once I've got my head around what's just happened.
