iPhone 14s Crash Detection feature fails the collision test: Heres Apples justification

The Crash Detection feature, which is present in iPhone 14 models and an Apple Watch, has undergone a new test that reveals when it correctly fires and when it does not.

In a video from the Wall Street Journal, a demolition derby driver repeatedly rammed two distinct cars. He had a Google Pixel in the vehicle, which can also detect crashes, and an Apple Watch Ultra with an iPhone 14 model, reports AppleInsider.

Next, an iPhone 14 and Google Pixel were also placed side-by-side in each vehicle.

Testing showed that the Apple Watch worn by the driver was successful at detecting crashes. However, the iPhone didn't detect any of the impacts inside the first car, the report said.

The Google Pixel did detect one crash inside the driver's vehicle, but neither phone went off inside the car that got crashed into.

With car number two, the testers drove it around before crashing to make the smartphones think it was legitimate. But again, the crash did not trigger the smartphones.

When WSJ contacted Apple and Google with the results, Apple said a lack of data could be why the iPhone 14 didn't detect the crashes. Perhaps it was because it wasn't connected to CarPlay, or the tester didn't drive around the vehicle long enough.

Instagram Notes: Heres how to use them

The Meta-owned social media app Instagram recently got updated with a host of new features. While the ability to share YouTube Music and changes made to Instagram Stories may have been missed by most people, one feature that has caught everyone’s attention in the past few days is Instagram Notes. 

What are Instagram Notes?

In case you’ve been wondering what Instagram Notes actually is, it is a text-based feature that allows users to communicate with their followers. It lets users share around 60 characters with their followers, which will show up in those followers' direct messages. 

This feature is a lot like Stories as your followers can reply to the notes created by you, and the Notes will disappear after 24 hours.

How to use Instagram Notes?

Follow the steps mentioned below to start using Notes for yourself:

First up, to get started, open the DMs tab in your Instagram app. Once there, click the "Your Note" button. Write anything you want under 60 characters. The Note you wrote would be visible to your followers for the next 24 hours. Your followers can even reply to these Notes and you can do the same for anyone else’s Notes.

If you still haven’t got the feature, don’t worry as while the Notes feature has been rolled out to a lot of users, most of the users still have not got the update till now.
