    Microsoft yanks Edge browser update after users report crashes.

    The Edge 122.0.2365.63 browser update Microsoft released yesterday is causing a stir. Users encountered “This page is having a problem” or other errors, BleepingComputer is reporting.

    Reddit users soon discovered the bug impacted browsers with “Enhanced Web Protection” turned on. Some fixed it by turning the setting off — or switching Edge profiles. Everyone else will have to wait for Microsoft to release a fix, it seems.

    That 10-year-old family group chat on WhatsApp just got easier to navigate on Android.

    The messaging app’s “search by date” function is now rolling out to Android users. Already available on iOS, WhatsApp Web, and Mac desktops, the feature lets users jump to messages sent during a specific day.

    To use it, click into any chat (or group chat), select “Search,” and then tap on the calendar icon on the bottom right.

    Apple Music’s Heavy Rotation playlist features your new favorites instead of your all-time favorites.

    It compiles 25 of your frequently listened-to songs but will update daily, reports MacRumors. This way, the playlist reflects a shorter timeframe than Apple Music’s other personalized playlists (such as Favorites), which get updated weekly.

    Because it’s February, and no one else knows you’ve listened to Mitski’s latest album about 840 times over the past week.

    Offline downloads are appearing for YouTube Music’s web player.

    Travelers and those with finicky Wi-Fi can rejoice as offline downloading is starting to show up in YouTube Music’s web app, according to Android Police and 9to5Google. One user on Reddit posted screenshots of a “Save to Library” button, as well as a new “Downloads” tab.

    Offline downloads of songs have been limited to YouTube Music’s mobile apps and only for Premium members. It seems likely the desktop feature will also remain a Premium perk.
