JetBlue is revamping its in-flight entertainment system, complete with a new branding. Its now called Blueprint and brings several features that should make your next flight just a teensy-bit less grueling. The biggest news here is a watch party feature that lets customers view the same TV show or film with up to five other people. This is actually pretty cool, as watching stuff with friends and family during a long flight typically requires the finicky push play at the exact same time and hope nobody has to go to the bathroom method. The watch party feature includes functionality that pauses content for all viewers, should one have to take a break to deal with existential panic from being six miles above the ground. It also works no matter where the seats are. Introducing Blueprint by JetBlue, a personalized inflight experience, giving you new ways to use your seatback screen with watch parties, the ability to resume your content on your next flight, entertainment recommendations and real-time arrival details. Available on select pic.twitter.com/KCg5StLNNV JetBlue (@JetBlue) April 24, 2024 The watch party tool is just one aspect of the revamped in-flight entertainment experience. The system will now provide content recommendations based on previous viewing history, as it will be tied to individual accounts. This means that customers can save their favorite movies and shows for repeat viewings. It also means that people can pick up where they left off from one flight to the next. JetBlue says this can be useful for a connecting layover flight or even a trip months down the line. JetBlue has a content partnership with Peacock, so customers have access to the streamers catalog during flights. Both Twisted Metal and Mrs. Davis are solid in-flight binges. The company also teased more exclusive entertainment and offers coming to Blueprint in the future. As for availability, Blueprint is ready to go on JetBlue aircraft with AVANT seatback touchscreens. This includes the Airbus A321neo, Airbus A321LR (Long Range) and Airbus A220.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/jetblues-in-flight-entertainment-system-just-got-a-watch-party-feature-185913233.html?src=rss

Threads users may soon have a new way to clean up their timelines. The app is testing a new archive feature that can be used to manually archive individual posts or automatically hide posts after a set period of time, Adam Mosseri shared. As on Instagram, archiving a post on Threads will hide it from public view, though the post will be available to the original author to view or undo. The Instagram head said the feature will be available to a small number of people to start. Though optional, Mosseri has made no secret that his preference is for all posts on the service to be somewhat ephemeral. I think we should move to automatically archive posts on Threads after a month or so, he wrote in a post back in February. But, in a poll shared with that earlier post, Threads users overwhelmingly said they would never want their posts automatically hidden from public view. In his latest update, Mosseri noted that the resounding feedback was not to make this the default so the company will try out archiving as an option to start. While archiving old posts is popular on Instagram, the feature could be somewhat more controversial on Threads. As the service grows and adds more features geared toward real-time information, posts that automatically archive could make it harder to go back and revisit the original source of an update. (If Mosseri, for example, were to automatically archive all his old posts, it would be much more difficult to track his evolving thoughts on Threads, which he often shares publicly on the platform.) At the same time, allowing posts to be ephemeral often encourages users to share more often, which is even more important for Threads continued growth.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/threads-is-testing-automatic-archiving-for-posts-184243484.html?src=rss

Several months after Meta brought WhatsApp passkey logins to Android, its doing the same on iOS. The company is rolling out the feature now, and it will be available to all users in the coming weeks. Passkeys are seen as a more secure login method as (for one thing) it mitigates the risk of scammers convincing users to share their SMS passcode. Instead, you can log in by verifying a passkey using facial recognition, biometrics or a PIN stored on Apples passkey manager. Passkeys work by securely storing an authentication credential on your device that pairs with one saved by the service you want to log into. To turn on passkeys for WhatsApp on iOS, go to the Account section of the apps Settings, and then tap Passkeys. Passkey verification will make logging back into WhatsApp easier and more secure. Were excited to launch this on WhatsApp and give users an added layer of security, Alice Newton-Rex, WhatsApps head of product, said in a statement.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/whatsapp-is-enabling-passkey-support-on-ios-182527962.html?src=rss
