TikTok has successfully avoided a potential ban in the U.S. for the second time, receiving an additional 75-day reprieve after an initial requirement to reach a “qualified divestiture” agreement by April 5. This extension means the popular app can continue operating while discussions and negotiations are ongoing. In other technology news, rumors are swirling regarding Samsung’s forthcoming rugged XCover phone, with speculation about its specifications suggesting it will be built for durability.
YouTube is also making waves as it prepares to introduce new AI-enhanced features for its Shorts creation. These additions aim to provide users with innovative ways to produce their short video content, keeping the platform competitive and engaging. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Meta’s Llama 4 AI model is behind schedule but may still make its debut soon.
Internal challenges have reportedly contributed to the delays, yet there is optimism for its release.

This news will likely affect many users who rely on its functionality for seamless connectivity.
Additionally, OnePlus has teased that its upcoming OnePlus 13T smartphone will be compact yet feature a significant battery, while the Galaxy S25 Edge’s launch has reportedly been delayed due to technical issues. Lastly, leaks regarding the Pixel 10 series indicate that one model may experience a notable downgrade in camera capabilities, raising concerns among potential users about its photographic performance.
