Samsung and AMD announced a partnership last year that was unsurprisingly filled with generic “forward-looking” statements and nothing to show for.

Over the years, we’ve probably accumulated a ton of photos that we might have posted and shared to Facebook. However, given Facebook’s privacy scandals, we’re sure that some of you may no longer be too comfortable using the social platform and might want to move some of your content off it.
If you’re looking for a quick way to export your Facebook photos, you might be interested to learn that Facebook’s Google Photos export tool is now available in the US. For those who are unfamiliar, Facebook had previously launched a tool that allowed users to export photos from its platform to Google Photos, saving users time from having to manually download them and reupload them,
However, the feature was only previously available in regions like Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, but it looks like it has finally found its way stateside. The feature is pretty straightforward where all you need to do is go to your Facebook settings and follow the prompts and you should be good to go.
Note that this feature doesn’t actually remove your Facebook photos, but rather it creates a copy that will be uploaded to Google Photos. Even if it’s not for privacy reasons, it could still be a good way of creating an alternative backup just for posterity.

Ever made a mistake when you sent a message? Chances are you have, and usually what most messaging platforms allow is the ability to unsend that message, giving you a chance to resend the correct one. However, it seems that it is possible that in the future, Apple could allow users to edit those sent messages instead.
This is according to a patent discovered by AppleInsider in which it shows how Apple is working on a system that would allow users to edit sent messages. What’s interesting about this is that it could very well be the first time a message sent over a cellular network allows for the editing of a sent message.
There are platforms like Discord and Slack that allow users to edit sent messages, but this is because they are sent through a centralized server, meaning that the edits made can be quickly seen and applied to everyone in the chat. This is versus direct messages such as regular text messages.
The patent also suggests that there could be a way for users to see the history of those edited messages to prevent users from saying one thing and editing it to make it seem like they said something else. However, as with most patents, it’s hard to tell whether or not there are plans to make it a reality, but if Apple is hoping for its iMessage platform to better compete with the alternatives out there, the ability to edit sent messages could be a selling point.
Apple Could Soon Allow Users To Edit Sent Messages
