Over the past few years, Meta started integrating its various platforms into one ecosystem. Right now, Facebook and Instagram users can chat with each other on their respective apps. Unfortunately for fans of the cross-communication between the two platforms, Meta is taking the feature away this month.

Through a new support page, Instagram has announced that chatting between the two platforms will no longer be available starting in mid-December. The exact date of the removal is currently unknown, though.

When the undisclosed date arrives, Instagram users cannot start new conversations with Facebook users anymore. Additionally, all existing chats between the two platforms will become read-only, meaning users can’t add new messages to the conversation anymore.

On the flipside, Facebook users will stop seeing the Activity Status of Instagram users from their platform. Cross-platform conversations will not appear on Messenger, either.

Though the support page is conclusive against the feature, Meta has not explicitly explained why Meta changed its current cross-platform plans. It’s still possible that the company will implement a better solution in the future. As it stands, the European Union’s GDPR regulations require large companies to main interoperability between different platforms. Meta is an undeniable example of such a large company.

What is your fitness app of choice? Though there are a lot of options available now for enthusiasts, it’s undeniable that Strava is making one hell of an impact lately. If you’re a fan of the social fitness app, you’re getting a new feature to boost the social part of Strava.

Today, Strava is getting a substantial messaging feature for users. In the new update, users can start chats with other users in single or group conversations.

It’s a comprehensive feature, too. Chats will include likes and GIF reactions. Additionally, users can configure their options to accept messages only from mutuals or only after they messaged the other person first. Additionally, group chat creators can manage the participants included in the chat.

When compared to other fitness apps today, Strava is arguably leaning more towards the social aspect of the experience. The app allows users to run and hike together as a community. Now, despite how social the core of the app is, it never really allowed users to communicate directly with one another. Users had to rely on external messaging apps just to coordinate with one another.

As of late, Strava continues to pile on more features and integrations with other apps. Earlier this year, the app started allowing users to integrate with Spotify.

Earlier this year, CD Projekt Red rolled out one of the biggest turnarounds in recent gaming history. After suffering an ill-fated launch back in 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 received a massive 2.0 update that transformed the title from an undeniable failure to a must-play RPG. This month, the game continues its redemption tour with the upcoming 2.1 update.

Tomorrow, CD Projekt Red is shipping a substantial 2.1 update to introduce several highly requested features, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes. One of these changes is the introduction of the NCART metro system, which lets users ride the subway to get around Night City. A notable feature seen in prelaunch trailers, the subway system has been a long time coming. The system features 19 different stations across five subway lines.

Players are also getting a new radioport feature. Starting with the 2.1 update, players can continue to listen to the in-game radio outside of riding vehicles. Currently, the in-game radio is available only when inside a vehicle. Exiting naturally cuts off the music playing.

With the update, players can also replay the game’s racing missions for additional eddies and Autofixer discounts.

Capping off the list of major inclusions, players will soon be able to invite their love interests to their apartments. They can hang out with them after concluding their respective romance missions.

Besides these, the update will include a lot of minor fixes and improvements. Unfortunately, especially if your most requested feature isn’t on this list, the 2.1 update will be the last substantial one for Cyberpunk 2077. The studio’s focus will now shift to the game’s sequel and upcoming games set in The Witcher universe.

Cyberpunk 2077 2.1 will start rolling out on December 5 for all platforms.
