What’s happened? Meta has integrated its AI-powered image and video editing tools directly into Instagram Stories.

  • In its announcement, Instagram explains users can now access the tools via the new Restyle option in the Stories editor.
  • This option lets users add, remove, or change images using a text prompt.
  • For videos, the Restyle menu offers Presets that let users transform their outfit or apply a stylistic effect.
  • Instagram has also introduced an “Add Yours” sticker that will allow users to share their edits with others.

Why is this important? By adding these tools to the Stories editor, Meta has made them more accessible and intuitive to use.

  • Previously, the AI editing tools were only available through the Meta AI chatbot.
  • The new setup streamlines the editing process, letting users quickly make changes or copy another user’s edits before sharing a story.

  • With the new sticker, you can help your friends copy your edits or apply the same effects with just a few taps.

What’s next? You can try Instagram’s new AI editing workflow by tapping the + icon, selecting a photo or video, and tapping the new restyle icon in the top bar. You can share the edited photos and videos as a story or directly in DMs.

Samsung may give the Galaxy S27 Ultra a major eye comfort upgrade
A new leak suggests Samsung could add DC dimming to reduce OLED flicker on its next flagship phones.

Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra are shaping up to look quite different from the current generation, but the changes underneath may not be nearly as dramatic. Camera processing is reportedly being tweaked for warmer, more natural-looking photos, while certification filings point to a much-needed battery bump.

A fresh leak, however, points to an upgrade that could matter a lot more to people with sensitive eyes. Tipster WalleGalaxy claims Samsung will introduce DC dimming support on the Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra, potentially moving away from the PWM-only approach it has relied on for years. The current Galaxy S26 series still uses PWM at around 480Hz and offers no DC-like flicker reduction option.

Apple is preparing an unusually large retail push for the iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone, with flagship stores expected to feature dozens of hands-on demo units and dedicated displays. The aim is to give customers a proper look at the foldable device before deciding whether it is worth the premium price.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning more than 150 demo units at its Fifth Avenue flagship in New York City. The Apple Park Visitor Center is expected to have nearly 100, while stores on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, the Grove in Los Angeles, and Manhattan’s Upper West Side could each receive around 30 to 40 units. Smaller stores are expected to have roughly 20 demo devices.

Apple could add a personal touch to its upcoming iPhone Duo launch, letting buyers see their names on the screen the first time they turn on their new phones. According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, Apple retail stores in the US will have a system to customise the device’s initial greeting, so it displays a message such as “Hello, Mark” instead of the usual generic welcome.
