The social media giant has been seen making several efforts to enhance the user experience of the app. The platform not only has great features for casual users but also for businesses. The company announced the launch of Reels ads all around the world after several rounds of tests in different countries. According to the company, reels are the most efficient way to get higher reach and engagements from people who don’t even follow you.

The Reels ads will be shown in the full-screen format and in between the individual reels. It is currently difficult to say how effective the format will...

  Bloomberg posted an updated article, which clarifies that the antitrust legislation prohibits Apple from preventing users from removing Apple-created apps on their Apple devices. While Apple does allow users to delete many of its own apps, it doesn’t allow the deletion of core apps like Messages, Photos, and Phone.   According to the proposed U.S. antitrust legislation released last week, Apple would not be allowed to sell its iPhones with its own apps installed. Instead, the company would offer other app options for users to install. The free Apple-created apps on iPhones currently include Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, Notes, and a few others.   Under the proposed antitrust legislation, this requirement would lead to a substantial change in Apple’s iPhone's setup process, which would become more complicated, less streamlined, and perhaps even more expensive if users were cued to purchase or subscribe to third-party apps and services to replicate Apple’s services at...

Research carried out by Maple Furniture provides a snapshot of the Top 15 most popular furniture pieces searched online, ordered by the estimated volume of monthly searches.  Wardrobes are the most searched for type of furniture, with 301,000 searches per month.  Perhaps surprisingly, armchairs came in 15th place, with approximately 90,000 searches. It's hard to know whether this is because armchairs have declined in popularity, or whether this result is more to do with online search behaviours – for example, people searching for “chairs” rather than searching specifically for “armchairs.”  The research also shows that, at present, there is a lot of interest in grey sofas online. The ongoing popularity of grey in interior design seems to suggest that it's a great year-round neutral colour. Why?

As a business owner, it’s important to manage risk. From the risks associated with scaling the business to the physical risks of the office premises, you have to be on high alert if you want to avoid any litigation or financial implications. This guide will look at some of the key risks that every business should plan for.  Economic Risk  Any smart business owner will have one eye on the economy. You don’t have to be an economics expert to see the general trends. For example, when wages don’t go up in a few years, people have less money to spend and are therefore less willing to spend it on luxury items. As a business owner, you can’t control the economy, but you can ensure that you are ready for any wide-scale changes.  Compliance Risk  Compliance risk is the threat from violations of laws, regulations, codes of conduct, or organizational standards of practice. It can affect a company at an organizational and financial level, not to mention the potential risk to a ...
