Meet the hidden avatar creator on Instagram
An avatar is a virtual identity that we adopt in a service or website. In the case of social networks, at first we had to create the avatar with the help of a special tool and then export it to a format that was allowed to be placed as a profile photo.
Over time this changed to the point that two years ago Facebook added the option to create a personalized avatar from the application itself that you could then use as stickers in the comments of the publications, in Messenger chats, as well as in updates. of State.
In the case of Instagram, it is likely that many do not know, but this platform also offers users the possibility of create your own avatar.
However, this is something that not even the developers themselves have made known to encourage its use, since, at the moment, the avatars created here cannot be used in none of the Instagram sections.
In case you are curious to explore this tool, you can find it semi-hidden in the application options. To get to it, the first thing you should do is open the application and go to your profile. Once there, click on the three horizontal stripes located at the top right of the screen.
Then tap on Setting, Then in Bill.
Among the options present there you should find one that says avatars and click on it.
When the interface of this section is shown at a glance, it is quite similar to the Facebook avatar creator, although it looks much simpler.
When creating your avatar on Instagram you will have the opportunity to configure aspects such as skin tone, hairstyle, face shape, body, mouth, nose, eyebrows, eyes, glasses, clothing, among others.
The most curious thing comes when you have finished the process of creating the avatar and click on Ready; the avatar is saved in your account and that’s it.
Instagram does not provide you with options that allow you to use it in the stories or set it as profile picture. You can not even have the possibility to use it as a sticker in the instagram chat.
What you can do is sync it with facebook so that it replaces the avatar that you have created there and then you can take advantage of it, at least on that platform.

Apple Allows Apps to Raise Subscription Prices Without Users’ Permission

Apple has changed its policy for apps and services in the App Store that offer a paid subscription with auto-renewal.
Until now, when a developer increased the price of an auto-renewing subscription, users had to confirm that they agreed to continue paying for the subscription at the new price. Otherwise, the subscription was automatically cancelled. Now, with the update, the increased cost of the subscription will be charged even without the consent of the user.
Of course, Apple has provided some restrictions to avoid abuse. For example, developers are still required to notify users of a change in the cost of a subscription, and re-charging the new cost is not possible without the consent expressed by the user.
In addition, price increases cannot occur more than once a year, and the maximum price increase is $5 for regular subscriptions or $50 for annual subscriptions. Users will also be able to easily cancel their subscription if they wish.

Google has revealed the previously classified innovations of the latest Google Play update. The update brought one of the features of Android 13 for smartphones with older OS versions

In early May, Google released a system update for the Google Play online app store. As it turned out, this update contains much more interesting innovations than originally announced by Google.
Recently, Google updated the note for the May update of Google Play, adding to it some additional innovations that were not previously mentioned.
Most notable among these declassified innovations was the Photo Picker feature. This feature, first introduced in Android 13, aims to restrict apps from accessing media files on the device. Instead of giving access to all the media on the device at once, Photo Picker gives apps access to only selected media.
Google’s official documentation for Photo Picker mentions that the feature will arrive on devices running Android 12 and Android 11 via a Google Play system update.
Another new feature coming with the Google Play May update is support for installing and using streaming apps on devices running Android Automative. In addition, the update also adds the ability for parents to install the launcher on devices registered with Family Link.

Elon Musk knocks down the price? He does not want to complete the deal to buy Twitter without an audit, which is impossible

Elon Musk’s purchase of the social network Twitter is getting more and more interesting. The other day, the billionaire said that the number of fake and spam accounts on Twitter can exceed 90% of the number of daily active users, but in general he leans towards 20%.
Musk has already said he wants to audit, so he put the deal on hold for now. However, there appear to be problems with the audit procedure.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal wrote that it is unlikely that an external audit could be carried out.
Unfortunately, we do not believe that this particular assessment can be done externally, given the urgent need to use both public and private information (which we cannot share). Outwardly, it is even impossible to know which accounts are counted as daily active.
Agrawal also said that Twitter is actively fighting spam accounts, blocking more than half a million accounts daily. He reiterated that the company has been counting such accounts for many years, and the rate has always been less than 5%.
Musk said that the CEO of Twitter publicly refused to provide evidence of such indicators, which is why the deal cannot move towards completion.
It is not yet clear how this story will end, but it is likely that all this will allow Musk to buy Twitter for significantly less than the original $ 44 billion. Perhaps from the very beginning, Musk had such a tactic, and now he adheres to it.
