The FCC wants to make it easier to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline for those who can’t (or prefer not to) call. Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has proposed an order that would let people text 988 to reach the Lifeline. Carriers would have to automatically route texts to 988 to the Lifeline’s full number (1-800-273-8255) no later than July 16th, 2022. Providers would have to support every messaging format the Lifeline can handle, and the FCC would explore the possibility of texting the Veterans Crisis Line.
The move would not only accommodate younger people more familiar with texting, but would make the Lifeline more accessible to people with disabilities, according to the FCC. The regulator also suggested this would offer a “certain level of anonymity” for people who aren’t comfortable with phone conversations. The FCC will hold a vote on the proposal at its November 18th meeting.
The Lifeline already supports online chats through the web. As Rosenworcel explained, however, this is a bid to “meet [people] where they are” and give them a choice in a moment of crisis. Americans would have more opportunities to get help, and might be more inclined to get that help in the first place.
In the U.S., the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-8255. Crisis Text Line can be reached by texting HOME to 741741 (US), 686868 (Canada), or 85258 (UK).

As promised at WWDC earlier this year, Apple today will start letting developers highlight their in-app events on the App Store. You’ll need iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 to see the event listings, and they work as you’d expect, allowing you to see seasonal competitions, livestreams and more. It’s a pretty straightforward feature, but it’s the sort of thing that could encourage more people to install and use their apps.
Hopefully, developers won’t rely on it as a spammy way to rack up engagement. Many mobile gamers would love to know when they can log on for special item drops, for example. And if you encounter a particularly intriguing upcoming event, you can also create a notification or calendar reminder of when it begins. You’ll also be able to share events to get your friends on board too.

There is no anime more responsible for a love of space bounty hunters (and an ill-advised love of jazz) than Cowboy Bebop. The seminal series has been beloved for so long, and with the Netflix adaptation on the way now’s as good a time as any to dive in and see if Bebop is a jam session you can jive with. Here are our…
