He said that after having a chat with his then skipper in training camp, he tried to find him on <keyword id="19897919" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="social-media" source="keywords">social media</keyword> but could not find him. "When I knew that I was going to RCB, Virat was the first guy to message me and welcome me to the team. When I turned up for the pre-IPL training camp, we obviously got chatting and spent a fair bit of time training together as you do. So I go to his social media, to follow him. Did not even think about it before that. Never really crossed my mind. I was like 'I cannot find him'," said Maxwell. He revealed that someone mentioned to him that Virat probably had blocked him and after asking him, it was indeed the case. It was because Maxwell had mocked Virat's shoulder injury during the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Ranchi. "I am sure he is on social media somewhere so I did not think anything of it. Not really that maybe he was not savvy with <keyword id="19900288" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Instagram" source="keywords">Instagram</keyword>. Did not really understand why he was not coming up and then someone mentioned that he might have blocked you. That is the only way you are not able to find him. I was like surely not," Maxwell added. "Then I went and asked him 'Have you blocked me on Instagram?' And he was like, 'Yeah probably. It was when you mocked me during that Test match. I was like 'yeah, that's fair enough'. So yeah, he ended up unblocking me, and we became great friends after that," concluded Maxwell. Since joining RCB, Maxwell has played 52 matches for the franchise, scoring 1,266 runs at an average of 28.77 and a strike rate of 159.25, having smashed 12 fifties for the side with the best score of 78. As the IPL retentions will be announced on Thursday, all eyes will be on RCB if Maxwell is retained by them.

Following its announcement back in September 2023, Meta is finally starting to roll out the highly-anticipated Meta AI—one of the world’s leading AI assistants—across India in the English language. Built with <keyword id="22160215" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Meta-Llama-3" source="keywords">Meta Llama 3</keyword>, this <keyword id="21147496" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="AI-assistant" source="keywords">AI assistant</keyword> is designed to integrate smoothly with <keyword id="19895189" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="WhatsApp" source="keywords">WhatsApp</keyword>, <keyword id="19915884" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Facebook" source="keywords">Facebook</keyword>, Messenger and <keyword id="19900288" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Instagram" source="keywords">Instagram</keyword>. This will allow users to benefit from its features directly from the feeds and chats within these platforms, and that too free of cost. Announcing the roll-out, Meta stated: “With our most powerful large language model (LLM) under the hood, <keyword id="20055505" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Meta-AI" source="keywords">Meta AI</keyword> is better than ever. We’re excited to share our next-generation assistant with even more people and can’t wait to see how it enhances people’s lives.” Here are some cool things you can make Meta AI do on the aforementioned platforms that we are already so familiar with! Recommend: Organising a night out with friends? Just ask Meta AI in your WhatsApp group chat to recommend restaurants with stunning views and appealing discounts for you and your friends to explore. Plan: Preparing for a weekend road trip? Meta AI can help you plan an itinerary by pinpointing the best stops along your route between Point A and B, ensuring a memorable journey. Generate: Need to study for an upcoming test? Ask Meta AI to generate a multiple-choice quiz on your chosen topic or subject to enhance your preparation. Inform: Interested in a post you’ve seen on your Facebook feed? Simply request more information from Meta AI right from the post to satisfy your curiosity. Imagine: Want to create and share unique images? Use the word ‘imagine’ while chatting with Meta AI, either alone or in a group, to unleash Meta’s text-to-image generation and fuel your creativity. Animate: Have an image you love? Ask Meta AI to animate it or modify it based on new prompts, allowing for dynamic and collaborative visual creativity. This AI assistant’s integration across WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger and Instagram opens up a wealth of possibilities, making everyday interactions smarter and more engaging. But on the flip side, it also opens doors to potential misuse. AI in social media already poses several significant risks of privacy invasion, misinformation spread and manipulative content. And then there’s also the AI hallucination issue—given the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/ai/news/when-ai-hallucinates-heres-why-googles-ai-overview-is-generating-nonsensical-and-inaccurate-results/articleshow/110435437.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Google AI overview fiasco</a>, it will be interesting to see how Meta AI will address similar risks of profiling and misinformation.

The social media platform, which has a significant user base among teenagers, is implementing these changes to foster a safer and more positive online environment, offering “peace of mind” for both parents and children. Instagram will automatically place teenagers into the new Teen Accounts and teenagers under 16 years will need a parent’s permission to change any of these settings. Teen accounts are set to private by default, limiting interactions with unknown adults and filtering out potentially harmful content. Instagram also provides educational resources to help teenagers navigate the digital world responsibly. Teenagers will also get access to a new feature that will allow them to select topics they want to see more of in Explore and their recommendations, preventing unwanted content from popping up in their feeds. <h2><keyword id="23216323" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Instagram-teen-account" source="Orion">Instagram Teen Account</keyword> features</h2><h3>Private accounts</h3>Teenagers will placed into private accounts by default and they will have to accept new followers and people who don’t follow them will not be able to see their content or interact with them. <h3> <keyword id="23216322" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="messaging-restrictions" source="keywords">Messaging restrictions</keyword></h3>Teens will be placed in the strictest messaging settings, so they can only be messaged by people they follow or are already connected to, preventing unwanted or unknown people from contacting them. <h3>Sensitive content restrictions</h3>Teens will automatically be placed into the most restrictive setting of Instagram’s sensitive content control, which limits the type of sensitive content teens see in places like Explore and Reels. <h3>Time limit reminders</h3>Teens will get notifications telling them to stop using the app after 60 minutes each day. <h3><keyword id="23216321" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sleep-mode" source="keywords">Sleep mode</keyword></h3>Sleep mode will be turned on between 10 PM and 7 AM, which will mute notifications overnight and send auto replies to messages. <h3>Limited interactions</h3>Teens can only be tagged or mentioned by people they follow. Instagram will also turn on the most restrictive version of the app’s anti-bullying feature, Hidden Words so that offensive words and phrases will be filtered out of teens’ comments and message requests. <h3>How to change settings in the Instagram Teen Account?</h3>Teenagers under 16 years will need their parent’s permission to use less protective settings. To get permission, teens will need to set up parental supervision on Instagram. If parents want more oversight over their older teen’s (16+) experiences, they simply have to turn on parental supervision. Then, they can approve any changes to these settings, irrespective of their teen’s age. Once supervision is established, parents can approve and deny their teens’ requests to change settings or allow teens to manage their settings themselves. Soon, parents will also be able to change these settings directly to be more protective.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>During a beautiful vacation, I found myself scrolling through other people's photos on Instagram. </li><li>I was envious and realized I needed to break up with the app. </li></ul>Over the last year, I've had many reasons to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-quit-social-media-anxiety-free-time-2024-3">quit Instagram</a> — from worsening mental health, wasted productivity, and a shopping addiction.But one particular moment made me pull the brakes.In March, I was on <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/munnar-most-beautiful-place-india-mountains-bucket-list-2024-4">vacation in India</a>, staring right at the Himalayas. The peak glistened with a shade of rose gold — a mix of sunlight and snow. In this moment of serenity, I decided to sign up for trouble.I picked up <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/national-geographic-photographer-phone-photography-tips-2023-3">my phone to capture this view</a> and post it on Instagram. Thirty minutes later, I was green with envy, obsessing over photos from a random person's island vacation on my feed.I remember thinking, "How pathetic," about myself. This reflection shook me so much that I went on my phone and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-delete-instagram-account-on-iphone">deleted the Instagram app</a>. Having done this before, I knew I might redownload it after I snapped out of my self-hating spell.But it's been over 150 days since I've used Instagram. I haven't knowingly used the app or the browser version.<h2 id="0ea136e7-db0f-42f7-8b09-8906649116bc">The benefits of deleting Instagram kept multiplying</h2> <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/instagram-social-media-addiction-delete-redownload-app-boundaries-2024-2">The initial withdrawal days were difficult</a>. Still, on vacation, I wanted to post stories for gratification, but I kept my restraint. As I was flying back from India to my city, Toronto, I felt hopeful that the lack of distraction would help me stay more focused at work. Boy, was I right.With <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reels-instagram">no reel scrolling</a> on my phone during work breaks, I was easily saving 15 to 20 minutes per break. Once I added that up, it was almost two hours of productivity every day. As someone who is trying to focus more and grow her public relations business, this was a boon.Then came the best part — no FOMO because I had no idea what others were doing. Comparisons on social media are linked to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/transformation-instagram-photos-negative-body-image-2017-8">increased negative self-talk</a> and feeling worse about yourself. With a total cut-off from Instagram, my mental health improved because I wasn't thinking about how someone else was superficially better off than me. Since quitting the app, I felt more secure in myself and, in turn, happier and less anxious.<h2 id="37cf99fa-b490-496b-9429-99e5d6855c78">I asked my friends to text me more</h2>It soon became evident that I had no access to memes, sending fluttering hearts on friends' stories, or finding out about the new bougie restaurant in town. This felt like a hard trade-off because I like having meme-only conversations with certain friends, and who doesn't love a good laugh or tutorial? But that was the price I had to pay.I also didn't want to miss out on my close friends and family's important moments. So, I requested them to share pictures from their trips or life events by text, and so would I. Everyone agreed. This exercise also helped me realize that I needed new ways to stay connected with people I care about, so I started texting and calling them more. It took more time than DMing but we were having deeper conversations.<h2 id="52afc269-b2da-4328-a107-38b23e08c4f9">I play games now </h2>Without Instagram, my phone lost a little bit of purpose, especially with all my work and text apps on my laptop. I didn't know what to do during my downtime. So, I doubled down on games. I've always been a crossword solver and added more games to my phone like Connections, Wordle, and LinkedIn games. Overall, they take less than 30 minutes to finish, but it's enough of a dopamine hit when I'm looking to do something on my phone.I've had urges to redownload Instagram, mostly during vacations when I'm surrounded by beautiful views, gorging on Instagrammable food, and taking pictures with my loved ones. But I stop myself because the pros far outweigh these fleeting seconds of validation and maybe even showing off. I still document things and save them on my phone.In the initial days, I suspected that people not in touch with me would think I had zero life. But I've made my peace with it and feel relaxed that I have nothing to prove to anyone. Being off Instagram has helped me feel more secure, gain tons of time for work, and build deeper connections with friends. Maybe I will go back one day, but for now, these benefits are worth more than an app to me.

I deleted Instagram because it was making me anxious. I have no FOMO now, and I'm closer to my friends.

Billions of users across the world use <keyword id="19895189" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="WhatsApp" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="WhatsApp" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="WhatsApp">WhatsApp</keyword> as their go-to app for communicating with friends, family, and even colleagues. The <keyword id="20841049" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Meta-owned" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Meta-owned" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Meta-owned">Meta-owned</keyword> app is undoubtedly one of the most popular choices for users in India as well when it comes to instant messaging apps. Hence, whenever there is an update regarding WhatsApp, it piques the interest of its users. In the last few months, there were several updates that were announced for the app. Now, it looks like the Meta-owned platform is trying to be more like <keyword id="19900288" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Instagram" source="keywords">Instagram</keyword> as new features are reportedly in the works. According to a report from WA Beta Info, a reliable source for <keyword id="22602876" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="whatsapp-news" source="keywords">WhatsApp news</keyword>, the instant messaging platform is working on two new features. <h2>Users might be able to reshare <keyword id="21168500" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="status-updates" source="keywords">status updates</keyword></h2>The first feature that WhatsApp is reportedly working on is letting users reshare others’ status updates. This feature promises to improve the user experience by enabling the easy resharing of status updates on users' profiles. Discovered by <keyword id="3961385" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="WABetaInfo" source="Orion">WABetaInfo</keyword> in the <keyword id="19897014" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Android" source="keywords">Android</keyword> app's beta version 2.24.16.4, the upcoming feature could introduce a convenient shortcut button for resharing status updates for Android users. That’s not all, users might also be able to add their own customisations to the status updates that they are sharing. At this stage, it remains unclear whether WhatsApp will notify users when their status updates are reshared by others. This feature bears a resemblance to Instagram’s reshare functionality. If WhatsApp actually rolls out this feature, users will no longer have to take screenshots or request the original uploader to send the media privately for resharing purposes. <h2>WhatsApp’s double tap to react feature for Android users </h2>Another feature that could be in the works for Android users is double tap to react. Currently, Android users have to long-press the message in order to react to it. However, as per WA Beta Info, going forward they will be able to just double tap on the message if they want to react to it. This is similar to Instagram’s double tap feature where a heart emoji appears by default if you double-tap a message. If WhatsApp brings the double tap to react feature to Android, it would make reacting to messages much quicker and convenient for users.

<keyword id="19897919" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="social-media" source="keywords">Social media</keyword> platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook have established safeguards to combat <keyword id="23571068" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bot-accounts" source="keywords">bot accounts</keyword>, including policies and technical mechanisms. However, the effectiveness of these measures is increasingly being questioned as AI-driven bots evolve and find ways to bypass restrictions. <h2>AI bot evolution</h2>While <keyword id="21559036" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="AI-bots" source="keywords">AI bots</keyword> can serve legitimate purposes like marketing and customer service, some are designed to manipulate public discussions, incite hate speech, and spread <keyword id="19933162" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="misinformation" source="keywords">misinformation</keyword>. Research from the University of Notre Dame investigated the bot policies of platforms like LinkedIn, <keyword id="19932634" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tiktok" source="keywords">TikTok</keyword>, and X, testing how well these platforms enforced their rules. The findings were troubling. "Despite what their policy says or the technical bot mechanisms they have, it was very easy to get a bot up and working on X. They aren't effectively enforcing their policies," said Paul Brenner, a Director at Notre Dame. Even interns, who had only a high school-level education and minimal training, were able to launch the test bots using technology that is readily available to the public, Brenner explained. Their bots were created using commonly-available AI tools such as <keyword id="19918823" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="OpenAI" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="OpenAI" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="OpenAI">OpenAI</keyword>'s GPT-4o and DALL-E 3, and the tests were run on LinkedIn, Mastodon, Reddit, TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="114283439" title="Security threats to AI models are giving rise to a new crop of startups" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>As per the tests, none of these platforms had sufficient safeguards to keep the bots out. Researchers successfully published benign test posts from bots across all platforms, with X and Reddit posing minimal challenges. While <keyword id="19911549" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="meta" source="keywords">Meta</keyword> platforms proved somewhat more challenging due to stronger enforcement mechanisms, they ultimately could still be bypassed — even by relatively inexperienced folk. <h2>Why does it matter?</h2>In India — and the rest of the world, for that matter — the rise of AI-driven bots has significant implications for public discourse, particularly in the political arena. Research has indicated that a substantial portion of misinformation circulating during electoral periods can often be traced back to automated accounts. Many experts emphasise that the pervasive influence of these accounts can negatively shape public perception and discussion, and is often used to target certain sensitive groups and stoke communal tension. As platforms struggle to keep pace with the evolving tactics of malicious bots, the need for stronger regulations becomes increasingly evident. Considering that AI is evolving at a rapid pace that makes it supremely difficult to tell bots apart from real human accounts — even for the tech-savvy — Brenner argues for US legislation that mandates platforms to identify human versus bot accounts. Similar measures are needed in India, where the lack of accountability for social media platforms allows harmful bot activity to proliferate. <h2>What needs to be done?</h2>Addressing the bot problem requires a multitude of different solutions. For starters, enhanced technology, such as more sophisticated AI detection systems, could help platforms identify and mitigate bot activity more effectively. Recent advancements in machine learning are paving the way for tools that can better analyse user behavior and detect anomalies that indicate bot activity. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="114250696" title="AI labs are fragmenting because of ego clashes and commercial pressures. It&amp;#39;s about to drive a wave of new startups." mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>However, it is almost just as necessary to educate users about identifying bots and understanding online discourse. To platforms can implement user-friendly tools that highlight potentially automated accounts, empowering users to make more informed decisions about whom to engage with. Legislation could also play a pivotal role in shaping how social media platforms handle bot accounts. By requiring transparency about bot activity and holding companies accountable for enforcement, policymakers can create an environment where genuine discourse thrives and misinformation is curtailed.

Veteran <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords">India</keyword> opener <keyword id="19953204" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shikhar-Dhawan" source="keywords">Shikhar Dhawan</keyword> announced his retirement from all forms of <keyword id="19919646" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cricket" source="keywords">cricket</keyword> two years after he last donned the national jersey, saying that he leaves the scene a content man after representing the country in all three formats. The 38-year-old made his international debut in 2010 in an ODI against Australia in Visakhapatnam and his last India game was also a 50-over match, against Bangladesh in 2022. "As I close this chapter of my cricketing journey, I carry with me countless memories and gratitude. Thank you for the love and support! Jai Hind!," <keyword id="19978622" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="dhawan" source="keywords">Dhawan</keyword> said in a post on 'X'. "It's important to turn the page to move forward in life and that's why I am announcing my retirement from international and domestic cricket. As I bid goodbye to my cricket journey, I have peace in my heart that I played for so long," he said. Dhawan appeared in 34 Tests, 167 ODIs and 68 T20Is for India but had fallen out of favour in the last couple of years due to patchy form and emergence of younger opening talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill. His best came in the 50-over format in which he amassed 6793 runs at an average of 44.11, including 17 hundreds and 39 fifties. He averaged 40.61 for his 2315 Test runs, which featured seven centuries. "I am standing at a point in my life where when I look back, I see only memories, and when I look ahead, I see a new world. I had just one goal in life, to play for India, and I made it happen," he said. "I am very thankful to DDCA (Delhi and Districts Cricket Association), the <keyword id="19901245" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BCCI" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="BCCI" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="BCCI">BCCI</keyword> and my fans. And that's why I tell myself, don't be sad that you won't play for India again but be happy that you played for your country. And that's the biggest thing for me, that I played," he said in his concluding remarks in the social media post. At his peak, the Delhi swashbuckler was a sight to behold with his range of strokes and ability to hit powerfully. He is a bonafide IPL legend, appearing in 222 matches, that yielded 6769 runs, including two hundreds and 51 half centuries. His 768 fours in the tournament are the highest by any batter and he also holds the distinction of being the first to hit consecutive hundreds in the event. He was a part of the title-winning Sunrisers Hyderabad team in the 2016 season. He has also played for Delhi, Mumbai and Punjab. Of these, he captained Delhi and Punjab at various stages of his career. He had appeared for Punjab this season but played in only five matches owing to fitness issues.
