Following a high-level meeting with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), Roblox has announced a major safety initiative tailored for Filipino users.
The platform is introducing two new account types—Roblox Kids and Roblox Select—designed to bolster online protection for children through age-appropriate content and verified security measures.
Key safety measures include:
Automatic Placement: Users are sorted into accounts based on verified age.
Restricted Communication: Chat is disabled for those under 9, while older children have access to filtered chat limited to peers and “Trusted Friends.”
Enhanced Parental Controls: Filipino parents can now block specific games and manage chat settings.
DICT Secretary Henry Aguda and CICC Usec. Aboy Paraiso highlighted a new “green lane” agreement, allowing parents to report grievances or harmful content directly via Hotline 1326. While the government commends Roblox’s commitment to “Digital Bayanihan,” officials emphasized that online safety remains a shared responsibility. They urged parents to remain vigilant in monitoring their children’s digital activities to ensure a secure and positive environment for their development.
We’re introducing two new age-based accounts for younger users on Roblox: Roblox Kids for users ages 5 to 8 and Roblox Select for users ages 9 to 15*. When they roll out in early June, these accounts will more closely align content access, communication settings, and parental controls with a user’s age. We’re also establishing an ongoing selection process for games available to users under 16.
This update will bring age checks, account-level defaults, content ratings, ongoing moderation, and expanded parental controls together into a unified framework for younger users. Based on our selection criteria, we believe age-checked users under 16 will have access to the vast majority of their favorite games at launch. Age-checked users 16 and older will not see any change to their Roblox experience.
With these two new age-based accounts for younger users, Roblox is putting social media giants to shame, specially if those social media networks are basically “sweeping this social-media-is-addicting-to-kids topic under the rug.”
As a father of children who play Roblox, I find this to be an essential safeguard alongside our existing parental controls. It provides much-needed peace of mind, particularly as they explore the wide variety of games the platform offers.
X, the service formerly known as Twitter, has announced that the company will launch a standalone messaging app called XChat for iPhone and iPad on April 17.
The announcement did not provide any additional information about the service but the app description in the App Store says “Chat with anyone on X in a private, focused space built for conversation. No ads. No tracking. Fully end-to-end encrypted”, which more or less the same features of the current messaging app in the space. XChat is basically the spin-off X/Twitter’s DM and the web version of XChat is available at https://x.com/i/chat/. It remains to be seen if spinning-off DM to a separate app/service will be enough to drive more engagement to the service, specially if it will be competing to established messaging service like Facebook’s Messaging, WhatsApp and Apple’s Messages.
Apple today announced it will host its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) online from June 8-12, bringing developers together from around the world for a week of connection, exploration, and innovation. In addition to the online experience, developers and students will also have the opportunity to celebrate in person during a special event at Apple Park on June 8.
WWDC26 will spotlight incredible updates for Apple platforms, including AI advancements and exciting new software and developer tools. As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting developers, WWDC will also provide unique access to Apple engineers and designers, and insight into new tools, frameworks, and features.
Somethings to look forward to, is the upcoming iOS 27 and macOS 27, and the company’s A.I. “Apple Intelligence” roadmap. Unlike the previous WWDC, Apple is making the event accessible to LinkedIn, WeChat and bilibili users.
I just saw this message (image above) on my Messenger desktop app and it appears that META a.k.a. Facebook wants to bring users back to Facebook.com, since users will be redirected back to Facebook.com after Dec. 15. The Messenger app shutdown affects both the Windows and Mac apps of Messenger.
And if you are worried about your chat history, Meta encourages users to “enabled secure storage in Messenger should turn on secure storage and setup a PIN from their desktop app.” You can visit this Support page for the FAQ’s and additional information on Messenger app on desktop.
Microsoft will soon remove the ability to create local Windows account during the installation/setup process. The announcement was made when the company release the “Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.6772 (KB5065797).”
Local-only commands removal: We are removing known mechanisms for creating a local account in the Windows Setup experience (OOBE). While these mechanisms were often used to bypass Microsoft account setup, they also inadvertently skip critical setup screens, potentially causing users to exit OOBE with a device that is not fully configured for use. Users will need to complete OOBE with internet and a Microsoft account, to ensure device is setup correctly.
For now, users can still use and create local Windows account during the setup process but once the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.6772 (KB5065797) is rolled-out for the general public, a Microsoft account will be required to complete the Windows 11 installation/setup process.

Oli’s government lifted the social media ban after protests turned violent, killing 19 and injuring more than a 100 after police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters trying to storm parliament on Monday.
…
“We have withdrawn the shutdown of the social media. They are working now,” cabinet spokesperson and Communications and Information Technology Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung told Reuters.
Nepal has banned 26 major social media and communication platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter). The ban was enacted after the Social Media networks failed to register with the government within a seven-day period. This action follows a Supreme Court directive that required all online platforms, both domestic and foreign, to register with the authorities and monitor unwanted content.
Below are the social media networks that are banned within the boundaries of Nepal;
The Supreme Court ruling consisted to multiple petitions which were filed since 2020. The petitions filed seemed restrictions on unlicensed platforms broadcasting ads and content in Nepal. The government’s Directive on Regulating the Use of Social Media, 2080 requires platforms to — register with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, appoint a local contact person and compliance officer and also setup mechanisms to handle local complaints.
But not all Social media networks are blocked TikTok, Viber, Wetalk, Nimbuzz, Telegram and Global Diary are accessible within the country after completing the government requirements.
Spotify is introducing Messages, a new in-app feature that allows users to share and discuss music, podcasts, and audiobooks with friends and family. The feature is rolling out to users 16 and older in select markets.
Messages provides a dedicated space within the Spotify app for the word-of-mouth recommendations that are already a key part of the platform’s experience. It allows for one-on-one chats where users can send content, react with emojis, and text back and forth. You can easily start a conversation from the “Now Playing” screen by tapping the share icon and selecting a friend. The feature also suggests people to message based on your past interactions, like sharing content or being in a Blend or collaborative playlist.
From Spotify;
Here’s how Messages work
Messages are one-on-one conversations where you can share Spotify content and react with text and emojis.
Share Spotify content and start a message in-app with people you’ve interacted with before through Spotify.
When listening to a song, podcast, or audiobook in the Now Playing View, tap the share icon, select a friend, and hit send.
Once you accept a message request, you’ll be able to react with emojis, send texts, and seamlessly share Spotify content back and forth. Access Messages by going to your profile photo in the top left corner.
Spotify states that Messages is designed to complement existing sharing options, not replace them, and will help artists and creators gain new fans through increased word-of-mouth recommendations. Users have full control, with options to accept or reject message requests, block users, and report content. Conversations are protected with industry-standard encryption, and Spotify will use proactive detection and moderation to ensure a safe environment for all users.
Russia has “partially” blocked certain calling features on the messaging applications Telegram and WhatsApp. This action was taken in response to these platforms allegedly being used “to deceive and extort money, and to involve Russian citizens in sabotage and terrorist activities.”
According to a report by Associated Press, the measure was implemented because these platforms are being “used to deceive and extort money, and to involve Russian citizens in sabotage and terrorist activities.” The statement did not specify which calling features were affected, but reports from Russian users indicate that both voice and video calls may be impacted.
This is the statement from WhatsApp related to the Russian government’s attempt to block the service.
Our statement on the news about the Russian government's attempt to block WhatsApp:
WhatsApp is private, end-to-end encrypted, and defies government attempts to violate people’s right to secure communication, which is why Russia is trying to block it from over 100 million…
Threads, Meta’s Twitter/X clone, was able to achieve this in less than 3 years, which is impressive considering that it took Twitter, now X, 16 years to reach the 400 million monthly active user milestone.

More than four months after announcing Apple’s acquisition of Pixelmator, the deal appears to have been completed without any announcement, since users of the Pixelmator apps are displaying new splash screen announcing the deal.
The messages on the splash screen is a simple “We are excited to announce that Pixelmator Pro is now part of Apple,” and Pixelmator users confirmed that they are getting the similar message using app.
Apple now owns Pixelmator fully. I hope this is a good thing, but I did love that for many years I have been using it, the company has always provided regular updates and features. Something to be said for a hungry independent company. Still could be integrated in some great… pic.twitter.com/cfvw5xQEnz
While Apple has acquired Pixelmator, they haven’t revealed plans for the app’s future. It remains a standalone product for now, and hopefully won’t suffer the same fate as Apple’s Aperture app, which was discontinued in 2015.
After US President Trump delayed the ban of TikTok for 75 days, the Chinese Social Media company now announced that the TikTok Android Package Kits (APK) is now available for download for Android users. Just head over to https://www.tiktok.com/download, to download the installer file.
We're enhancing ways for our community to continue using TikTok by making Android Package Kits available at https://t.co/JoNVqKpnrS so that our U.S. Android users can download our app and create, discover, and connect on TikTok.
The move is the prompted by the removal of the Tiktok app from the Android Play Store and Apple App Store, which is one of the things that US company needs to do when the TikTok ban law went into effect on Jan. 20, even though “President Trump has signed an executive order granting TikTok a 75-day extension to comply with a law that requires a sale or ban of the platform.”

Grab Philippines has released an official statement regarding one of its driver-partner of being accused of lascivious acts by his passenger. In their statement, Grab Philippines said “After a comprehensive review of the Audio Protect recording from the trip, the driver-partner’s profile, and performance history, we found no conclusive evidence to support the allegations or indicate any malicious intent.”
After the surprise shutdown of Tiktok last weekend, the Chinese-owned social media received a much needed break when President Trump signed an executive order delaying the ban of TikTok for 75 days.
BBC news reports, “President Trump has signed an executive order granting TikTok a 75-day extension to comply with a law that requires a sale or ban of the platform.”
US President Donald Trump explained that in this 75-days extension, “the US will not enforce the law passed by Congress last year and signed by former President Joe Biden.” This will also allow its owner ByteDance until April 5, 2025 to find a solution to avoid an abrupt shutdown of their platform, TikTok. This deadline comes after the US Supreme Court upheld a law requiring ByteDance to divest its interest in TikTok by that date or face a nationwide ban.
ByteDance is currently exploring various options to comply with the law, including selling TikTok or spinning it off into a separate company. However, the company has also expressed concerns about the potential impact of a forced sale on TikTok’s users and employees.
If you can recall, it was during his first term in 2020, the US President Donald Trump issued an executive order to ban TikTok. He is currently attempting to evade a bipartisan law that went in effect this 19th of January.
Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and Google have partnered to bring Google Pay to Saudi Arabia in 2025 through the mada payment system. This move supports SAMA’s Vision 2030 goals by boosting digital payments and reducing cash reliance. Google Pay will offer secure and convenient transactions in stores, apps, and online.
The agreement will allow Android users to pay using their Android phones instead of using their MADA card, just like how iOS users uses Apple pay (on their iphone).

Viber, one of the Philippines top messaging platform, just launched a dating feature that was made to help users “make real connections”.
Even though the feature is still in beta test, users can setup their dating profile by opening the mobile app, then at the bottom tap the “More” option. Your Viber Dating Profile will only visible to users who are also using the feature and will not affect your regular Viber Profile.
Your Viber Dating Profile will include your Name, Birthday, Gender, and Sexual orientation. It also include a brief bio and users can upload a maximum of six (6) photos. Users can also indicate if they are looking for i.e, relationship, new friends, or just some fun. Unlike the sexual orientation and dating preference, your real name and age cannot be change once you’ve set it, the company said that “name or age can only be changed by deleting your profile and creating a new one.”
Since there are hoards of dating apps available out there, Viber’s advantage is that people are already using the app and adding a dating feature within the platform could be ideal for users who do not want to manage another account or profile.
For more details on the Viber Dating feature, you checkout the support page of Viber Dating.
