Spotify still hasn't added AirPlay 2 support to its iOS app — but despite the delay, it's still "working to make [it] a reality," the company tells The Verge. Some doubt was cast on AirPlay 2 inclusion when MacRumors spotted a forum post where a Spotify forum moderator claimed that "audio driver compatibility issues" might mean the feature wouldn't be added for the foreseeable future. Spotify now claims that's wrong.

The Verge received the following statement from Spotify regarding AirPlay 2:

A post on one of Spotify's Community pages contained incomplete information regarding our plans for AirPlay2. Spotify will support AirPlay2 and we're working to make that a reality.

AirPlay 2, added as part of iOS 11 update, introduced multiroom...

Microsoft is working on a new night mode for Xbox consoles. The software giant has started testing this night mode with Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring today, and it allows Xbox owners to dim their screens, controller LED brightness, and even the Xbox power button.

The night mode has a lot of customization, including different dimming levels and an optional blue light filter. Microsoft is also allowing Xbox owners to dim the LED brightness on their controllers in this night mode and dim the Xbox power button light or turn it off. You can also set an Xbox to switch to the system dark mode and disable HDR when the night mode is enabled.

The Xbox night mode lets you dim a controller LED brightness.

WhatsApp lead and other tech experts fire back at Apple’s Child Safety plan

WhatsApp won't be adopting Apple's new Child Safety measures, meant to stop the spread of child abuse imagery, according to WhatsApp's head Will Cathcart. In a Twitter thread, he explains his belief that Apple "has built software that can scan all the private photos on your phone," and said that Apple has taken the wrong path in trying to improve its response to child sexual abuse material, or CSAM.

Apple's plan, which it announced on Thursday, involves taking hashes of images uploaded to iCloud and comparing them to a database that contains hashes of known CSAM images. According to Apple, this allows it to keep user data encrypted and run the analysis on-device while still allowing it to report users to the authorities if they're found...

Amazon informed US warehouse employees on Friday that it is once again requiring them to wear masks to work in response to the spread of the more contagious COVID-19 delta variant (via CNBC and Bloomberg). The company says it offers access to vaccines to over half a million of its employees, but it will require employees to mask up, regardless of their vaccination status.

Amazon confirmed the mask mandate in an email statement to The Verge:

In response to the concerning spread of new COVID-19 variants in the U.S. and guidance from public health authorities and our own medical experts, we are requiring face coverings indoors regardless of vaccination status. We are monitoring the situation closely and will continue to follow local...

More and more, I find myself wondering why we built a world in which so much civic discourse takes place inside a handful of giant digital shopping malls.

So let's talk about Facebook's decision to disable the pages and personal accounts associated with the Ad Observatory project at New York University, which took data that had been volunteered by willing Facebook users and analyzed it in an effort to better understand the 2020 election and other subjects in the public interest.

In one corner, you have academic researchers working to understand the platform's effects on our democracy. In the other, you have a company battered by nearly two decades of privacy scandals and regulatory fines, forever terrified that a Cambridge Analytica...

Razer announced today that its lit-like-a-gaming-PC N95 mask has a new name and a beta program set up ahead of the planned fourth quarter launch. The futuristic-looking Project Hazel has been christened the Razer Zephyr, and you can sign up to be a beta tester right now on Razer's site.

Razer has not provided any additional information on the timing of the Zephyr's release or when beta testers can expect to receive their masks. Based on the video Razer shared alongside its announcement, beta testers might get a different mask design from what's been shared up until this point.

The Zephyr seems a tad wider and rounder than Razer's original Project Hazel, and there's a grille at the bottom of the mask that's a lot more visible than...

The FCC finally made a new broadband map of the US

The Federal Communications Commission has launched a new map designed to show consumers what kind of cellular coverage they can expect in a given area from AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and Verizon. It's been a long time coming, and it doesn't address home internet availability, but it looks like an improvement over the agency's woefully inadequate and inaccurate past attempts to show gaps in the nation's broadband coverage.

As Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel pointed out on Twitter, it shouldn't have taken this long for this map to be available. The law requiring that these maps be made, known as the Broadband Deployment Accuracy and Technological Availability (DATA) Act, was signed in March 2020, and the lack of details about broadband...

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued its first charges against the decentralized finance industry Friday, accusing two people of illegally selling over $30 million of securities in unregistered offerings.

The SEC's Friday order found that two executives from the Blockchain Credit Partners company used the Ethereum blockchain to sell cryptocurrencies to investors while misleading them about the company's profitability. Specifically, investors purchased cryptocurrencies using digital assets like ether. The company then promised to pay investors over 6 percent in interest and that the funds would go toward physical investments like car loans to create additional income. The SEC determined that these "real-world" investments...
