Apple is trying to halt the App Store ruling.

After filing an appeal, Apple is now asking the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to pause the Epic vs. Apple injunction requirements that prevent the company from restricting external links in iOS apps and charging fees on purchases made outside the App Store.

Apple says compliance will cost the company “hundreds of millions to billions of dollars annually,” and that the “extraordinary intrusions into Apple’s business will cause grave, irreparable harm” without a stay.

AI message summaries are coming to WhatsApp.

The WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.15.12 update includes an in-development AI feature that summarizes messages in chats, groups, and channels using the Private Processing AI tech Meta announced last week, allowing users to quickly catch up on lengthy conversations.

It isn’t available for testing yet, but WABetaInfo notes the summarization feature won’t be available in chats where Advanced Chat Privacy is enabled when it does roll out.

Slack’s ‘Later’ tab is down.

The office collaboration / messaging app is still functional, but a notice on Slack’s website confirms there’s an issue affecting the Later tab for saved items in its desktop and web app as of about 1PM ET.

We’re looking into an issue impacting the Later tab on the desktop app and browser. Users may be having trouble switching from the In Progress tab to the Archived or Completed tab. Items may also be missing from the Archived or Completed tabs.

We’re investigating and will let you know as soon as we know more. We appreciate your patience in the meantime.
