Facebook and Instagram both have the Stories feature, and for a while now, users on Instagram who post Stories have the option to also share it onto Facebook. However, for whatever odd reason, the reverse isn’t possible. This means that if you post Stories onto Facebook, you can’t share it onto Instagram.
That being said, for those who do enjoy the Stories feature, you might be interested to learn that according to a tweet by researcher Jane Manchun Wong, it has been revealed that Facebook is testing a cross-platform Stories sharing feature. This will finally allow users on Facebook to have the option to share their Stories onto Instagram at the same time.
Like we said, we’re not sure why Facebook has taken this long to introduce the feature since it seems pretty obvious, but perhaps better late than never. It should also be noted that WhatsApp (owned by Facebook) has a similar Stories feature, but it has been left out of the cross-platform sharing functionality.

Maybe with Facebook starting to move towards cross-platform sharing, WhatsApp could eventually gain similar functionality as well, which should make it easier for social media managers to share a single post across multiple platforms at once. There is currently no word on when the feature will go live, but we’ll keep an eye out for it.

The coronavirus outbreak is wreaking havoc around the world where it has not only infected thousands, it has also killed quite a number of people who were infected as well. However, it also has huge implications for businesses, where many are suffering as a result of the virus, such as airline companies, travel agencies, hotels, and so on.
Even electronics companies such as Apple are feeling the heat, where according to a recent report from the South China Morning Post, it has been revealed that Apple’s iPhone sales in China have slumped rather dramatically by more than 50%. According to the figures, Apple only managed to ship close to 500,000 units in February 2020.
This is less than half of what the company shipped back in January 2019 where it was at an estimated 1.27 million units. It has been suggested that the slump could be attributed to the coronavirus outbreak which has forced many businesses to halt operations temporarily, including companies part of Apple’s supply chain.
Apple had even closed their stores in China for around two weeks in February, which no doubt affected sales of their products. This could continue to get worse as there are reports claiming that Apple’s iPhone SE 2 and its 5G iPhone 12 could be delayed as a result.

What's the Best Juicer?
Posted in: Today's ChiliI freakin’ love juice. But unfortunately, I’ve never been able to make it myself … because I don’t own a juicer! What I have collecting dust in my kitchen cabinet is a Nutribullet, not a juicer nor a blender and in some ways, I’m beginning to realize, is the worst of both worlds.
