Instagram is finally letting everyone reorganize their profile grid

Nearly a year after it was announced, Instagram says it's delivering the ability to rearrange the posts in your profile grid. It had been available to some people in test groups, but as of June 8th, it's rolling out widely via the Android and iPhone mobile apps. Until now, the posts on your Instagram profile have been locked in chronological order beyond the ability to pin three posts at the top, but once the feature is live on your account, you can long-press and drag posts freely, no matter ho

Apple’s Screen Time updates are too little, too late

Ask to Browse is one of the new features coming to Screen Time. | Screenshot The Verge Apple spending a big chunk of its WWDC keynote on parental controls was surprising for several reasons. But the biggest is that, despite all the airtime, it didn't announce much new beyond a redesigned interface. Almost all the features touted already exist or are upgrades to current options. Why Apple chose to do this isn't a mystery. You can trace the threads from the recent landmark social media trials agai

VICTORY: Meta Strips Facial Recognition Code From Smart Glasses App After Public Outcry

Just days after a damning WIRED report exposed that Meta had quietly embedded facial recognition technology (FRT) code into millions of phones, the tech giant has quietly acquiesced in demands to reverse course. Last week, researchers identified code in Meta AI, a companion app for its line of smart glasses, that could convert images of faces into unique biometric signatures to identify strangers in public. EFF’s Threat Lab verified these findings through static analysis, and reminded consumers

5 things I already love from the iOS 27 beta

Some app icons have a little more glass, but it gives them more identity. iOS 27 has only been out for a few hours, and I've been messing around with the developer beta on my iPhone 16 Pro. I was most interested in trying out the new Siri AI, but unfortunately, I'm still on Apple's waitlist for that. In the meantime, I've been poking around a bunch of features that aren't about AI and found a lot that I'm happy with - even though this doesn't seem to be as big of an update as previous years, the

How and Why to Fight Back Against Social Media Bans

Several U.S. states are pushing to ban young people from social media entirely. This marks the latest wave of censorship bills masquerading as “children’s online safety” measures, with states like Massachusetts, Idaho, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois, and EFF’s home state of California leading the charge. Just a few years ago, lawmakers supporting age-gating laws insisted their efforts were narrowly targeted at limiting young people’s access to adult content. At the time, we

Apple is using AI to fix Safari’s extension problem

Apple is trying to solve one of Safari's biggest weaknesses with AI. Safari has long lacked the robust library of extensions that its rivals have, mainly due to the stringent development requirements from Apple. But now, Apple is inviting users to essentially vibe-code their own extensions. In a demo shared by Apple, the company showed how you can ask Safari to create an extension by describing it. "Save and track cooking recipes from around the web," the prompt said. "Click the toolbar button t

Where was tvOS 27 at WWDC?

For a new tvOS, we really need a new Apple TV. | Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Every year, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference gives us a first look at what's coming next to the company's many operating systems. But missing from today's keynote, apart from a single graphic listing all current Apple OSes next to a big "27," was any mention of tvOS. The whole structure of this year's WWDC was different, with features delineating the presentation structure instead of sections for each OS upd

Apple’s new parental controls are for keeping Apple out of trouble

When Apple put child safety front and center at WWDC on Monday, its stated goal was helping parents fine-tune their kids' online experiences and avoid excessive screen time. But amid a global debate over internet regulation, its latest updates also looked like a defensive move in a brewing fight against Meta and other app developers. Apple announced an expanded toolkit for parents through its child accounts at WWDC, including a greater ability to customize kids' allotted screen time and the abil
