    Meta has opened waitlists for community notes.

    As spotted by Engadget, Meta’s community notes website has links to sign up for waitlists for Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Meta plans to phase in community notes “over the next few months,” according to the website.

    Meta also shared some images on Threads showing how writing community notes will look, and I’ve added those to the below gallery.

    Google is making it easier to access emoji as part of a few changes to Meet on iOS and Android. Instead of hiding the emoji picker behind the three dots menu, Google will replace the raise hand button on the bottom bar with an emoji button. Handy!

    Two screenshots showing changes to Google’s emoji picker in Meet.
