Threads adds vanishing ‘ghost posts’ on a timer for those one-off hot takes

Meta has introduced "ghost posts" to its Threads app, which disappear after 24 hours, available as of October 27. Users can create these posts using a toggle option that shows a countdown timer. Replies to ghost posts are directed to the creator's direct messages. Threads has also increased the text character limit to 10,000 characters per post and added group chat support for up to 50 participants, including customizable chat names and invite links. Multimedia support has been added for sharing photos, videos, GIFs, and stickers. Additionally, Threads is expanding its messaging features to users in the EU.

Gemini on Android is getting ready to listen to your audio files (APK teardown)

A recent APK teardown of version 16.30.59.sa.arm64 of the Google app beta indicates that the Gemini Android app may soon allow users to attach audio files, such as MP3s, to their chats. This feature includes a prompt to “Talk live about this,” but it is not yet fully functional. Users can upload audio files and either type a question or select the “talk live” option, though responses from Gemini can be inconsistent. The technology behind Gemini is capable of processing audio input, including summarizing and transcribing, with support for formats like MP3, WAV, and FLAC. This development follows the recent addition of image uploads in the app, suggesting a move towards enhanced multimedia support.
