📱 Meta has restricted Apple Intelligence in WhatsApp and its other apps

📰 Users of Apple devices have encountered an unexpected limitation: Apple Intelligence features no longer work in popular Meta apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Threads.

📝 According to Brazilian technoblog Sorcererhat Tech, these apps can no longer use Writing Tools. Genmoji sending options are also unavailable, and Instagram has blocked the sending of Memoji and related stickers.

😶 Meta has not officially commented on the situation. The reasons for the blocking have not yet been announced, but observers believe that it may be to protect user data or an attempt to curb competition between ecosystems.

😁 The video shies away from the unavailable ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features like personalized Siri replies, and instead focuses on what's available now.

ℹ️ Apple originally published ads with unavailable ‌Siri‌ features when the iPhone 16 launched, and now it's facing lawsuits as a result from customers who expected the ‌Siri‌ features on their new ‌iPhone 16‌ devices.

👂 What's new with iPhone in the future

1️⃣ iPhones will be released in different months

2️⃣ The holes in the screen will disappear by 2027

Please don’t go repeating everything you see.

😁 In the ad, Google points out that the Pixel had a horizontal camera bar first, before delving into other features that Apple has allegedly copied. The video is positioned as a "podcast" featuring a Pixel phone and an ‌iPhone‌.

– Hi, I'm Pixel, and this is my friend, iPhone.
– Good day.
– There are a lot of rumors circulating about iPhone's upcoming redesign.
– It's crazy. Can you imagine me doing the same thing you did first years later?

🤨 Google highlights Night Mode, Clean Up, and widgets as examples of features that were available on Android first. The video wraps up with the ‌iPhone‌ copying a line that the Pixel says first: "We want to remind everyone that these rumors are just rumors."

What's known about the iPhone 2️⃣0️⃣ ?

📰 According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is likely to produce the iPhone 20 primarily in Chinese factories, contrary to expectations that the company would split production capacity between China and India.

🇹🇼 In 2027, the 20th anniversary of the first iPhone, the company is planning a major redesign of the lineup with “extremely complex” parts and new manufacturing methods that are easier to implement in China due to expertise and infrastructure.

🤔 iPhone 20 is expected to be predominantly glass.
