Meta just dropped its own stand-alone AI app — and it’s coming straight for ChatGPT 👀

After plugging Meta AI into WhatsApp, IG, Messenger, and Facebook, Zuck & Co. are going all-in: now there's a dedicated app that lets you chat with Meta AI directly, à la ChatGPT

So what’s the twist? Meta’s secret weapon is you. It already knows your friends, your interests, your vibe — all thanks to the data you’ve shared across its platforms. That means Meta AI isn’t just smart, it’s personalized. From recommending trips to skipping the cheese if you’re lactose-intolerant — it remembers what matters

And yep, there's a Discover feed too. Want to ask the AI to describe you in emojis and share it with your friends? Go for it (but only if you want to)

But remember — all that data still feeds the ad machine. It’s Meta, after all

AI is getting social — and Meta’s betting big on being the most you-aware chatbot on the block 💬

https://www.gizchina.com/2025/04/30/xiaomi-and-huawei-lead-as-chinas-smartphone-market-grows-in-q1-2025/

Google just announced that Android now natively supports the OpenID4VP and OpenID4VCI standards for digital credentials!

Android already supports digital identity documents, ie driver's licenses and passports, but this new standard opens up support for other types of documents like education certificates, insurance policies, memberships, etc.

Via the new DigitalCredential API in Android's Credential Manager, digital credentials can be securely presented to any app or website on the device.

Yesterday, Google announced that Google Wallet will be able to use digital credentials to recover Amazon accounts, access online health services with CVS and MyChart by Epic, and verify profiles or identity on Uber/Bumble. Other apps like Samsung Wallet and 1Password can also hold digital credentials via Android's Credential Manager API.
