Reels Scrolling On Their Own? It's Not a Glitch; Instagram Is Testing New Auto-Scroll Feature
Instagram New Feature: Instagram, the Meta-owned platform, is testing a new feature that enables reels to play automatically one after another—no swiping needed. This feature is known as the Auto-Scroll feature. It ensures that once a reel ends, the next one starts playing instantly. If you wish to rewatch a reel, you can scroll back up, but it will continue auto-playing the next reel afterward. By default, this feature is turned off. To enable it, tap the three-dot menu below the share icon and toggle on Auto-Scroll. Moreover, Instagram has already introduced a new feature called Blend, designed to offer a more personalized and shared Reels experience. According to the company, Blend creates a unique feed of Instagram Reels, curated based on content recommendations tailored to both users involved. Instagram's turning into TikTok one scroll at a time Auto-scroll is here for some users, posts now swipe themselves. Got it yet or still waiting? — Shohag Hossain (@Iammdshohag) July 18, 2025 The feature is located within the chat section of the app. To start a Blend, one person must send an invite, which the other must accept—meaning it requires mutual consent from both accounts before the shared feed is created. How To Activate Blend Feature On Android and iOS Step 1: Open Instagram and navigate to a chat — this can be either a one-on-one conversation or a group chat. Step 2: In the chat window, tap the Blend icon located in the top right corner. Step 3: A preview screen will appear, showing what the Blend feature includes. Tap Invite to send the invitation. Step 4: The other person (or group members) must accept the invite. Once accepted, the Blend will be created and a shared Reels feed will be generated based on both users' interests.

Blend and Doma Expand Partnership to Bring AI-Powered Instant Title Decisioning to More Lenders
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blend Labs, Inc. (NYSE: BLND) and Doma Technology, LLC today announced an expanded partnership to bring Doma's AI-powered instant title decisioning to more lenders through Blend's home lending platform. Lenders using Blend's flagship Mortgage and Rapid Home Lending solutions can now access instant title decisions via Doma's Upfront Title, seamlessly embedded into the borrower application flow. The integration creates a fully digital, end-to-end title and closing process that accelerates time to close and enhances the borrower experience. This expansion responds to growing demand for solutions that make home lending faster and more efficient, while helping borrowers save money as they unlock the value of their home. By surfacing title decisions early, lenders can identify potential issues sooner by speeding up approvals, reducing fallouts, and minimizing manual work. Additionally, the Upfront Title configuration allows lenders to apply title insurance rates that save borrowers 40% to 70% compared to traditional rates. ' Blend is the gold standard when it comes to digital lending experiences, and we could not be more excited to deepen our partnership, ' said Max Simkoff, founder and CEO of Doma. ' This strategic investment enables us to think even bigger about how we can use technology to remove the friction and frustration from closing a mortgage. We remain incredibly excited to rapidly scale the delivery of Upfront Title through Blend ' s powerful platform, bringing our patented, instant title decisioning to more lenders across the country, while delivering meaningful cost savings to borrowers. ' Following Blend's recently signed definitive agreement to sell its title insurance business to a leading provider, this expanded partnership with Doma highlights the company's strategic shift toward offering software-driven title solutions through trusted partners, rather than operating those services directly. 'This partnership with Doma reinforces our core focus: delivering innovative, software-driven solutions that create real value for our customers,' said Nima Ghamsari, co-founder and Head of Blend. 'By leaning into our platform's scale and partnering with best-in-class technology providers like Doma, we're able to streamline complex workflows like title and empower our lender partners to move faster, lower costs, and deliver a more transparent and modern experience to their borrowers.' In an initial launch of the Upfront Title solution for Mr. Cooper, a Blend customer, Doma was able to drive an overall loan cycle time reduction of three days, while also saving borrower customers several hundred dollars per closed loan on title fees. 'The Upfront Title solution from Doma and Blend proved through reduced cycle time and increased affordability to our customers that it is by far the superior solution in the market for recognizing our strategic goals,' said Jeff Puckett, SVP and head of mortgage origination at Mr. Cooper. Upfront Title is available today to all Blend customers with a Doma relationship and is already in use by lenders like Mr. Cooper and a top 5 U.S. bank. Broader enhancements to the integration are planned for the second half of 2025, further expanding its functionality and value. About Blend Blend Labs, Inc.

Bion Announces Third Organic Fertilizer Offtake Commitment
Billings, Montana, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. (OTC QB: BNET), a leader in advanced livestock and organic waste treatment and resource recovery technology, announced a new offtake Letter of Interest (LOI) for 100,000 gallons of its advanced organic and low-carbon nitrogen fertilizer. The offtake is for Bion's OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) Listed 10-0-0 Liquid AB (Ammonium Bicarbonate) nitrogen fertilizer. Liquid AB is one of a new breed of immediately-available organic nitrogen fertilizers recovered from the ammonia freed up during biogas production. These premium specialty fertilizer products can help growers close the organic 'yield gap' that comes from less available nitrogen and allow them to shrink their carbon footprint, as well. The LOI is with a large integrated U.S. agribusiness concern that has requested confidentiality at this time. Pricing is $7.00 per pound of nitrogen, FOB (Freight on Board) from Bion's initial fertilizer production facility, with the specific location to be determined. Bion's 10-0-0 Liquid AB is 10% nitrogen by weight, so that 100,000 gallons will contain approximately 84,000 pounds of nitrogen. This is the third LOI through Philo Consulting, adding to the Perfect Blend and Yield RMG offtakes that were previously announced, bringing the current total to 250,000 gallons. Bion expects more offtake commitments from distributors and growers in the near term and has an initial goal of 300,000 - 500,000 gallons for delivery in 2026. Bion recently began producing and shipping a second round of AB samples to fill new requests, including some for different concentrations and pH levels. The offtakes are non-binding until projects to supply them are identified and development started, then contracts to reserve future production volumes will be executed. Bion is now evaluating several dozen potential supply partners and projects. Many are operating facilities, where Bion can produce fertilizer much faster than with new development; some of those are industrial facilities, that are subject to more regulation than agriculture and could be in production even sooner. Bion is focused on finding opportunities to produce initial supply in 2026 and is evaluating a wide range of projects – agriculture, industrial, existing facilities, and new development – to supply 2027 and beyond. Craig Scott, Bion's CEO, said, 'We continue to be very encouraged by the interest in our advanced organic nitrogen fertilizers. The markets are large. Organic production has been the fastest growing segment of U.S. agriculture for several years, and America still represents less than five percent of global organic crop production. We believe the ability to increase organic yields, improving its efficiency and profitability, while further reducing its environmental impacts, cannot be overemphasized. People and the planet win with circular solutions – this is a big one.' Bion Environmental Technologies' patented Ammonia Recovery System (ARS) produces organic (OMRI Listed) and low-carbon nitrogen fertilizers from the problematic ammonia produced when biogas is generated from animal manure, industrial, and other organic waste streams. Recovering this valuable resource, instead of allowing it to escape to the environment, prevents air and water pollution, produces clean water for reuse or discharge, and improves the economics of livestock and biogas operations. Bion's platform aligns with global trends toward circular economy models and low-carbon and low-impact fuels and agriculture.
