Meta introduces new comment moderation tools for creators on Facebook

by Hansraj Agrawal | Feb 8, 2023 | Technology

Meta has introduced new comment moderation tools for creators on Facebook, making it easier for them to view moderation statistics and manage conversations.

The company made the announcement on Tuesday from its ‘Meta for Creators’ account on Facebook.

“View what criteria are met for hiding comments with the inline comment preview and criteria tag in the activity log of Moderation Assist,” the company said.

Creators can also now view “moderation statistics”, like the number of comments hidden in the last 30 days, by seeing the insights in the “Moderation Assist’s Activity Log.”

Moreover, creators can now search comments by keywords including emojis, commenter names and date on their posts and “take bulk actions, such as liking or hiding, through Comments Manager in Professional Dashboard,” the company said.

Meanwhile, last month, Meta had announced that it is bringing updates to its ad system, including removing gender as an option for advertisers to reach users under 18 on Facebook and Instagram.

Age and location will be the only information about a teen that the company will use to show them advertisements, which will make sure that teens see ads that are meant for their age and products and services available where they live.

WhatsApp may soon let users schedule calls within group chats: Report

by Hansraj Agrawal | Feb 8, 2023 | Technology

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature which will allow users to schedule calls within their group chats.

Users will be able to select a title, date and time for their call, making sure that everyone in the group is aware of when it will take place, reports WABetaInfo.

It is useful when the group is organising an event, by allowing members to schedule a call to discuss the details and confirm that everyone is available.

The ability to schedule a call within the group chats is currently under development and is expected to be released in a future update of the application, the report said.

Meanwhile, last week, it was reported that the messaging platform was working on a new feature which will allow users to create calling shortcuts.

With the new feature, it will be possible to create a calling shortcut by just tapping the contact cell within the list of contacts. This feature will be helpful for users who frequently make calls to the same person and do not want to go through the same process again-and-again, that is, opening the application and searching for the contact every time.

Microsoft introduces new AI-powered Bing search engine, Edge browser

by Hansraj Agrawal | Feb 8, 2023 | Technology

Microsoft has introduced its new Bing powered by “next-generation” ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI), and also updated its Edge browser with new AI capabilities.

The AI-powered Bing search engine and Edge browser are now available for preview at Bing.com, to “deliver better search, more complete answers, a new chat experience and the ability to generate content”, the tech giant said in a blogpost on Tuesday.

According to the company, these tools act as an “AI copilot for the web”.

“AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all — search,” said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

“Today, we’re launching Bing and Edge powered by AI copilot and chat, to help people get more from search and the web,” he added.

With the new Bing, users get an enhanced version of the standard search experience.

The updated search engine is powered by a new, next-generation OpenAI large language model that is more powerful than ChatGPT.

“It takes key learnings and advancements from ChatGPT and GPT-3.5– and it is even faster, more accurate and more capable,” the company said.

It offers more relevant results for common queries like sports scores, stock prices and weather, as well as a new sidebar that displays additional in-depth information if users need it.

The chat experience gives users the power to narrow their search until they get the complete answer they are looking for.

Microsoft also announced that it has updated the Edge browser with new AI capabilities and a new look.

“With the Edge Sidebar, you can ask for a summary of a lengthy financial report to get the key takeaways and then use the chat function to ask for a comparison to a competing company’s financials and automatically put it in a table,” it said.

Users can also ask the browser to help them compose content, such as a LinkedIn post. Moreover, it can also help users to update the tone, format and length of the post.

“Together with OpenAI, we’ve also been intentional in implementing safeguards to defend against harmful content,” the company added.
