Tuned Is Dead: Meta Is Shutting Down The Messaging App For Couples

Someone sensible at Facebook’s parent company Meta must’ve thought there aren’t enough hours in the day to chat beyond Messenger and WhatsApp to finally decide to pull the plug on Tuned, Meta’s social messaging app exclusively aimed for couples.

Why the Tuned app needed to exist is anyone’s guess, but its eventual demise doesn’t come as any surprise whatsoever. 

Why Meta’s Tuned app is shutting down

The Tuned couple-focused messaging app is discontinuing its services later this year because ‘it’s not sticking,’ according to Meta’s New Product Experimentation Team who developed it in the first place.

The social media giant hasn’t pointed to any stats or figures to justify the reason behind shutting down the Tuned couples messaging app – just that it isn't sticking or picking up traction, as much as Meta executives thought it would. 

In fact, Jessyka Faison, a New Product Experimentation (NPE) spokesperson was quoted in a statement, “In the spirit of experimentation and similarly to previous apps, we try a lot of things, learn, and if our tests aren’t sticking, shut it down.”

What happens to Tuned app’s user data

Tuned app was launched in the early days of the pandemic in 2020, aimed at keeping couples in touch with each other. It had messaging features, quizzes, voice messages, notes and lists, shared music through Spotify, and other interactive and intimate features that would help couples do more online.

The Tuned app even had a ‘check-in’ feature designed to ping couples about their relationship status, too. But it wasn’t to be, as seemingly Tuned app was unable to break through the pandemic years and increase its popularity enough for it to be worth Meta’s while.

According to The Verge, users of Meta’s Tuned app have received a warning which urges them to download all their in-app data before September 19, when the Tuned app will discontinue all services and cease to exist.

Have you ever used the Tuned app by Meta during the pandemic? Are you going to miss it when the couple-focused app finally shuts down all its services later in September 2022? Let us know in the comments below, and for more technology news and reviews, keep reading Digit.in.

Instagram Is Going To Be Video-Centric Even If Kardashians Think It Sucks

Any long-time Instagram user will know how different the app is now from its early years. Things started changing especially with Meta (formerly Facebook) acquiring the brand. Instagram first started incorporating features inspired by its competition. A prime example of this is Reels, a short ephemeral video mode that is clearly based on TikTok. Well, that’s not all. Now, the company is heavily leaning towards videos that the app which was once a photo-sharing app is now “more and more going to be video”. This is what the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri had to say on the growing backlash against the new Instagram.

Kardashians’ Post On Instagram

Kylie Jenner first posted a story that reads, “Make Instagram Instagram again. Stop trying to be TikTok I just want to see cute photos of my friends. Sincerely, everyone.” The same post was reshared by Kim Kardashian.

The post shared by Kim Kardashian wishing for OG Instagram has over 1.1 million likes and a Change.org petition related to this has around 100,000 signatures, the last we checked. 

Adam Mosseri’s Revealing Response 

“We’re experimenting with a number of different changes to the app, and so we’re hearing a lot of concerns from all of you. I want to be clear: We’re going to continue to support photos. It’s part of our heritage. That said, I need to be honest: I do believe that more and more of Instagram is going to become video over time. We see this even if we change nothing. We see this even if you just look at the chronological feed. If you look at what people share on Instagram, that’s shifting more to videos over time. If you look at what people like and consume and view on Instagram, that’s also shifting more and more to video over time, even when we stop charging anything.”

There’s a lot happening on Instagram right now. I wanted to address a few things we’re working on to make Instagram a better experience. Please let me know what you think pic.twitter.com/x1If5qrCyS

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Renders Leak To Reveal Its Multiple Colorways

We have previously come across the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 renders, but this time around, we get a good look at its various possible color options thanks to OnLeaks and GizNext. So, ahead of the August 10 launch event, let’s see what all we can scour about the upcoming folding flip phone from this leak.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Official Renders 

Officially, these four colors could be named  Blue, Graphite, Pink Gold, and Bora Purple respectively. The design is more or less the same as before. So, although it may not be obvious in these images, the cover display is slightly bigger and it may introduce newer use cases on the software side.

The hinge is also going to be an improved one. That chassis meanwhile would be of Aluminum and Glass.

Rest on the surface, we also see a USB-C port, microphones, SIM tray slot, speaker grille, volume rockers, a power key cum fingerprint scanner, and vertically-stacked dual cameras.

Inside, you could expect Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ SoC, Android 12-based One UI, up to 8GB RAM, 512GB storage, eSIM support, and a larger battery size.
