A TikTok ban is looking more and more like impending reality

The US House of Representatives recently passed a bill that could see TikTok get banned in America. The bill gives ByteDance, the app's Chinese parent company, six months to sell its controlling stake. Should it fail to do so, the app would be blocked in the US.

Paytm secures licence it needed to survive

India’s Paytm has secured a vital licence it needed to survive and maintain continuity of several core features of its eponymous payments app, a day before the firm’s banking unit is scheduled to cease operations because of regulatory clampdown.

App analytics firm Sensor Tower acquires rival Data.ai

App analytics firm Sensor Tower is acquiring rival Data.ai in a move that consolidates the mobile intelligence industry, creating a powerhouse that could dominate the sector and provide aggressively competitive insights into the app economy.

Roblox’s new AI features reduce the time it takes to create avatars and 3D models

Roblox is introducing two new AI technologies to reduce the time it takes to create avatars and 3D models, the company announced on Monday. The technologies, which were built on Roblox artificial intelligence, are designed to help creators eliminate time-consuming avatar setup and texturing steps when building content on the Roblox platform.

Apple is reportedly exploring a partnership with Google for Gemini-powered feature on iPhones

Apple is looking to team up with Google for a mega-deal to leverage the Gemini AI model for features on iPhone, Bloomberg reported. This will put Google in a commanding position as the company already has a deal with Apple as the preferred search engine provider on iPhones for the Safari browser.

LinkedIn plans to add gaming to its platform

LinkedIn, the Microsoft-owned social platform, has made a name for itself primarily as a platform for people looking to network and pick up knowledge for professional purposes, and for recruitment — a business that now has more than 1 billion users. Now, to boost the time people are spending on the platform, the company is breaking into a totally new area: gaming.
