Now, in its Q3 2026 shareholder letter, the company says it's building a specialized AI agent meant to help guests plan and book trips, with a rollout planned for the first half of 2027. Airbnb doesn't think a traditional chatbot is the right way to plan a trip. Instead, it's developing a custom, AI-native experience that "builds the interface around your question." Rather than a chat window, the ..

Oppo's Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max went global recently, and the Find X10 Ultra was expected to follow in the first half of next year as the camera- focused top dog. Today, Digital Chat Station on Weibo says Oppo's Ultra project is on hold. There's no reason given, but it's easy to guess that it all has to do with the insane memory prices which would have pushed the Find X10 Ultra to stratospheric levels, considering it was supposed to be a camera- centric flagship, and those cameras aren't ..

The upcoming iQOO 16R received its first certification in Indonesia last month, and today it showed up in another database, but with a twist. Malaysia's SIRIM certification lists the model number I2606 as the iQOO 16s, not the 16R. That's the same model number that showed up as the iQOO 16R in the GSM Association's IMEI database and Indonesia's TKDN listing. So it looks like iQOO will sell this phone as the 16s at least in Malaysia, though it remains to be seen which name other markets will ..

WhatsApp has long let you turn read receipts off entirely, but if you keep them on, there's no easy way on Android to see what someone sent you without them knowing you've read it. The notification helps, unless you've already swiped it away or have too many messages piling up. iPhone users have had a workaround for a while now, and it looks like Android users will finally get it too. On iOS, you can long-press a conversation in the chat list to get a pop-up with its most recent messages, and ..

Shortly after, a tipster said its first phone would be a wide-screen candybar, but also warned that Starlight / Starburst was just a translation and might not end up as the brand's actual name.
