Instagram Adds New Features Including Reposts and Maps
For reposts, users will be able to share public reels and feed posts from other users. The original poster will be credited and those reshares will appear in the sharer's profile in a new tab. Posts and reels will now include a reshare icon when they're available to share.
Instagram says creators will be able to reach more people since those posts will be recommended to others' followers.
Users must enable the new map feature to start sharing their last active location. They can set who can see their location and can also choose not to share their location when they're in specific places, or have their location available to specific users.
Location sharing can be disabled at any time, Instagram says. Reels, posts and stories can be viewed through the map.
Also, a new Friends tab at the top of Reels shows public content from contacts. This feature has been available previously, but is now being expanded globally.
Users can opt out of having their content displayed in the tab with options to hide likes, comments and reposts. They can also mute likes, comments and reposts from accounts they follow.

Google launches its own ‘MagSafe' with PixelSnap
Google announced its own version of 'MagSafe' called PixelSnap, which allows magnetic accessories to work with the newly launched Pixel 10 series of devices. The company's announcement comes nearly five years after Apple announced its own slew of magnetic accessories with the iPhone 12 in 2020. The company said that through PixelSnap, you can attach wireless chargers, stands, grips, and much more to the Pixel 10. It is also releasing its own PixelSnap cases and compatible accessories. The simplest accessory is a Ring Stand, which attaches to the phone like a puck, and you can pull the ring to use it as a stand. All new Pixel devices are compatible with the Qi2 wireless standard. The Pixel 10 Pro XL has 25W wireless charging compatibility, while all the other devices — the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and the 10 Fold — have 15W wireless charging compatibility. Google is launching a new PixelSnap charger along with an optional stand. You can use the standalone charger while laying down your phone, or if you want to use your phone while charging, or display home control widgets, you can use the stand. The PixelSnap cases start at $49.99, the PixelSnap Ring Stand is priced at $29.99, the PixelSnap charger costs $39.99, and the PixelSnap charger costs $69.99. Google said that the Pixel 10 series phones are compatible with accessories like car mounts, chargers, and those from Made for Google partners, along with certain MagSafe accessories.

Tech, chip stock sell-off continues as AI bubble fears mount
Tech stocks fell for a second day on Wednesday as investors sold off a slew of tech names amid concerns over the sustainability of the AI boom and a recent market rotation away from some of this year's biggest winners. Among the Magnificent Seven Big Tech stocks, Nvidia (NVDA) was down about 0.8%, and Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) stock fell about 0.6%. Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), and Meta (META) shares fell over 1%. Chip stocks Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Broadcom (AVGO) dropped more than 2%; Micron (MU) shares plummeted more than 5%. CoreWeave (CRWV), the AI data center company that rents computing power to Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta — making it essentially an AI pure play — also dropped nearly 4%. Palantir (PLTR), a defense tech stock that's seen a major upswing from the AI boom, sank nearly 2%, extending its recent losing streak. The rotation out of AI-linked stocks comes as sentiment soured this week on the market for artificial intelligence, fueled in part by a recent report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and commentary from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Researchers for MIT's Project NANDA authored a report released this week that said 95% of companies it studied are getting no return on AI. The findings of the report were first detailed by Fortune on Monday. That report followed commentary from OpenAI's Altman shortly after the ChatGPT-maker finished out its latest multibillion-dollar funding round, with the CEO telling reporters that he believes there's an AI bubble, a diversion from his prior characterizations. 'When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth,' he said. 'Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes." DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria likened the changing market sentiment to a pendulum. 'This is really just pendulum swinging back,' he told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday. AI stocks have taken off in recent months after a rocky start to the year. A new, cost-effective AI model from Chinese firm DeepSeek released in January cast doubt on the massive sums of money Big Tech was spending to build out AI infrastructure to power the technology — and sent tech stocks tumbling. Two rounds of earnings updates from some of the biggest AI plays in the market and more clarity on Trump's trade policies have since quelled those fears. Investors applauded recent quarterly reports from Big Tech firms Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon, which surpassed Wall Street's expectations as the companies said AI boosted their underlying businesses. That news overrode the fact that those companies also raised their forecasts for spending on AI infrastructure. 'The AI trade was getting so expensive that all it took was some comment from Sam Altman to make the investment community take some profits off the table,' Luria said. Luria added that 'the reality is that AI still has limited applications' beyond consumers talking to AI chatbots and using the tools as a search engine. Some AI bulls, however, maintain faith in the technology's ability to fuel markets to new highs. 'We are still in the early days of the AI Revolution as the use cases are just starting to massively expand as more companies recognize the value creation being driven by a handful of tech companies led by the Godfather of AI [Nvidia CEO] Jensen [Huang] and Nvidia,' wrote Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a note to investors Wednesday. He added that 'the tech bull cycle will be well intact at least for another 2-3 years given the trillions being spent on AI.' More will be revealed when leading AI chipmaker Nvidia reports its quarterly earnings results after the bell next week on Aug. 27. Laura Bratton is a reporter for Yahoo Finance.
