A new, AI-powered version of Bumble is coming

Mashable - Thu, 03/12/2026 - 15:14

Bumble will soon test an AI dating experience called, simply, Dates.

Dates will be powered by Bee, a standalone product feature designed as a personal dating assistant and matchmaker, Whitney Wolfe Herd, founder and CEO, said during its Q4 2025 earnings call.

SEE ALSO: Bumble announces AI-powered Profile Guidance and Photo Feedback

As Bumble told Mashable, users will start using Dates with an onboarding conversation to discuss values, relationship goals, communication style, lifestyle, and dating intentions. These conversations, which will be with "Bee," will apparently be private and not shared on your profile. Users will also be able to control what elements of the conversation Bee uses to search for matches.

View this post on Instagram

Then, Bee will identify a highly-compatible profile and notify both users with a description of why they're a match. If the interest is mutual, the connection moves to a conversation.

"To fully recover and return to growth, we must focus on product and technology innovation, which is where our efforts are now," Wolfe Herd said during Bumble's earnings call. Bumble's total revenue and paying users had decreased year over year (14 percent and 21 percent, respectively) compared to Q4 2024.

Wolfe Herd said that since the start of this year, she's been spending 90 percent of her days with the tech and product teams "reimagining what finding love looks like in the era of AI."

"We are rearchitecting the entire Bumble experience from start to finish," she said. Bumble can't use its legacy tech stack (the set of technologies that together build an app), so it's building a new, cloud-native tech stack with a targeted launch in Q2. Wolfe Herd said it's not just a backend upgrade, but a fully new platform coming.

Wolfe Herd also acknowledged the burnout and disillusionment with dating apps as of late. "Daters across the industry are dissatisfied with being reduced to images and potentially dismissed with a swipe," she said. "Bumble 2.0 introduces a chapter-based structure designed to help members tell their stories more authentically and understand one another more deeply."

SEE ALSO: App fatigue is real. I tested the best dating apps of 2026 to find the ones that really work.

She said the AI prioritizes fewer, more relevant matches over volume, combats swipe fatigue, and helps members move towards real-world connections.

The beta of Dates is launching soon, and future iterations are expected to incorporate date suggestions and anonymous feedback. Bumble already launched some AI features, Profile Guidance and Photo Feedback, last month.

Back in 2024, Wolfe Herd discussed an AI-powered dating concierge that would basically date for you, so it's unsurprising that the app is taking this direction.

Other major dating apps, particularly Tinder and Hinge, have also added AI features in the last few years. Tinder is also reportedly testing an AI matchmaker, while Hinge's latest AI feature helps start better conversations. Hinge's founder, Justin McLeod, left the app last year to launch an AI dating service called Overtone.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra torn apart by YouTuber. This is what he found.

Mashable - Thu, 03/12/2026 - 14:56

Popular YouTuber JerryRigEverything tore down the new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, performing one of the most fun and anticipated tests of the new, premium phone.

JerryRigEverything took an extended look at the guts of the new phone and found that Samsung neglected to make a big deal of an upgraded camera system. Still, as most tech products go these days, the Galaxy S26 Ultra seems to be an incremental upgrade over previous models.

JerryRigEverything called it a "decent upgrade over last year, but I still wouldn't rush out to buy a new one if you have a phone that was made in the last two or three years."

In his review of the phone, Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote that the S26 Ultra was a very good smartphone, mostly aimed at power users.

He wrote: "Still, for dedicated Android users — or anyone who loves big phones and hates Liquid Glass — the S26 Ultra is worth the investment. If you're a professional creator, an AI superuser, or a developer who can make the most of the snappy Qualcomm processor, then I think you'll be very happy."

Apple reveals celebration plans for its 50th birthday

Mashable - Thu, 03/12/2026 - 14:39

Apple turns 50 on Apr. 1, 2026, and the celebration start with a letter.

The company's CEO Tim Cook published a letter on Thursday titled "50 years of thinking different" on Apple's website. "Fifty years ago in a small garage, a big idea was born. Apple was founded on the simple notion that technology should be personal, and that belief — radical at the time — changed everything," he wrote.

SEE ALSO: Apple's iPhone Fold will let you run apps side by side, report claims

Cook's celebratory letter focuses on Apple's roots as a company that aims to "think different," and one that focuses on improving people's lives. Though it doesn't mention co-founder Steve Jobs by name, it ends with one of his quotes: "the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

In a separate post on Apple's website, the company revealed a little bit on how it plans to celebrate this occasion (the celebration was first hinted at by Cook himself when he addressed employees at an internal Apple meeting).

"In the coming weeks, Apple and its global community will celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, recognizing the creativity, innovation, and impact that people around the world have made possible with Apple technology."

Featured Video For You Is ChatGPT Changing the Way We Write?

While that doesn't tell us much (except, perhaps, that the celebration will stretch over a period of time), it is in the company's spirit to never spill the beans on anything that's coming, even if it's just a birthday party.

"While Apple is known for looking forward, this milestone offers a special moment to reflect on the journey that has brought the company here, to celebrate the people and communities who have thought different with us, and to honor the enduring values that continue to guide our work," the post said.

The top 10 most-followed Instagram accounts

Mashable - Thu, 03/12/2026 - 14:17

With billions of users worldwide, Instagram is arguably the most popular photo sharing platform. With the ability to share posts, reels, and 24-hour stories, Instagram allows everyone and anyone to share snippets of their lives. The top accounts on the platform, primarily belonging to celebrities, show just how much we love to see the daily goings-on in lives different from our own.

Ever wondered who holds the top spot for the most followers? Here are the 10 most-followed people on Instagram, according to Social Blade.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo – 672 million followers

The most followed person on Instagram is none other than Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. At the time of writing, Ronaldo has amassed a whopping 667 million followers. Unsurprisingly, his posts mostly theme around football and his current team, Al Nassr. Ronaldo also holds the record for most liked Instagram comment when he wrote on Kylian Mbappé's Real Madrid announcement post "my turn (to watch)."

2. Lionel Messi – 511 million followers

Sticking with the footballer theme, the second most followed account belongs to Inter Miami CF player, Lionel Messi. His account also features mostly football content, sharing glimpses into life on and off the pitch. His most liked post is a series of photos celebrating Argentina's 2022 FIFA World Cup win.

3. Selena Gomez – 415 million followers

Actress, musician, and founder of cosmetics brand Rare Beauty, Selena Gomez is up next on the list. She shares career highlights, Rare Beauty promotions, and glimpses into her daily life, making her one of the most-followed celebrities on the platform.

4. Kylie – 390 million followers

The first of the Jenner-Kardashian clan to feature is Kylie. As of March 30, she has amassed an unbelievable 393 million followers. Her posts regularly give us an insight into her life, her Kylie Cosmetics empire, and family life with her two adorable children. Kylie previously held the record for the most liked photo on Instagram, a picture of her newborn daughter Stormi. However, she later lost this position to a photo of an egg (yes, an egg...).

5. Dwayne Johnson – 390 million followers

If you need motivation, The Rock's Instagram is your go-to. Dwayne Johnson’s Instagram followers are given a regular insight into his fitness routine, movie projects, and personal life. He shares workout clips with the sets and reps listed out for you to try at home, if you're feeling brave.

6. Ariana Grande – 371 million followers

The star of recent Wicked fame is number 6 on our list. An incredible singer and actress, Ariana Grande also holds Instagram-follower fame. Recent content has, of course, been heavily influenced by the recent release of Wicked, with the Oscar-nominated actress sharing behind-the-scenes images with co-star Cynthia Erivo.

7. Kim Kardashian – 353 million followers

Kim Kardashian's Instagram account is as aesthetic as her. It's full of glimpses of her Skims brand, family life and various other collaborations. Fashion is definitely a strong theme of her posts, and you can expect some serious glam envy.

8. Beyoncé – 307 million followers

Another musician to make the list is Beyoncé. Hot off a successful awards season for her latest album, Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé's Instagram account is the perfect insight for fans. Posts regularly include her latest Levi's partnership, her new fragrance release, and of course, awards season success.

9. Khloé Kardashian – 299 million followers

Number 9 on the most followed list is Khloé Kardashian. Another insight into the Kardashian-Jenner family, Khloe's posts are primarily wholesome family shots.

10. Justin Bieber - 292 million followers

Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on March 12

Mashable - Thu, 03/12/2026 - 14:13

The Moon doesn’t look the same every night. Sometimes it’s a full circle, other times just a thin crescent. These changes happen because of the lunar cycle, a roughly 29.5-day pattern where the Moon passes through eight phases as different parts are lit by the Sun while it orbits Earth. Keep reading to find out where we are in this cycle now.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Thursday, March 12, the Moon phase is Waning Crescent. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 42% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.

Here's what you can see tonight. Without any visual aids you can see the Aristarchus Plateau and the Kepler Crater. With binoculars, you'll also see the Grimaldi Basin, the Gassendi Crater and the Clavius Crater. And, finally, with a telescope, you'll also see the Apollo 14 landing spot and the Schiller Crater.

When is the next Full Moon?

In North America, the next Full Moon is predicted to take place on April 1.

What are Moon phases?

According to NASA, the Moon takes roughly 29.5 days to orbit Earth, passing through eight distinct phases along the way. Although we always see the same side of the Moon, the amount illuminated by the Sun shifts as it moves, which is why it can appear full, half-lit, or just a thin sliver at different times in the cycle. These shifting appearances are known as the lunar phases, and there are eight altogether:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

These 4 open-source apps fixed Windows' biggest problems

How-To Geek - Thu, 03/12/2026 - 13:45

I’ve been using Windows since the very first release, and if you were around in those early days, you probably remember that the experience was a little rough in places. Windows was powerful and ambitious, but it also had some glaring gaps. Basic tasks that users needed every day like playing almost any video file, compressing archives properly, connecting to servers, or uploading files to a website often required tools that simply didn't exist in the operating system itself.

For years, Visual Studio Code has felt like that default choice, especially because it saves you time every day. It's the ubiquitous, open-source workhorse that handles everything from simple Markdown files to massive TypeScript projects. Most of us settle into a comfortable rhythm and assume we've mastered the tool. However, the VS Code team is constantly pushing the boundaries, subtly injecting features that improve the workflow. The reality is, even if you use VS Code every day, you are likely to miss out on many features. We will point out functionality you may have missed through the many updates over time.

Stop chasing Gigabit Wi-Fi: Here are the networking upgrades that actually matter

How-To Geek - Thu, 03/12/2026 - 13:00

How fast do you need your Wi-Fi to be? If, like most people (and myself), you're still on Wi-Fi 5, then your real world speeds are probably no more than 500Mbps under good conditions. If you have an internet connection faster than this, you might feel you're wasting the bandwidth you're paying for. Wi-Fi 6 can get you to a Gigabit and even beyond, and Wi-Fi 7, which can quadruple that, but is still expensive and won't reach that potential on devices that aren't Wi-Fi 7.

Like all Anker products, this power station is built to last. The C300 uses a durable LiFePO4 battery with smart temperature control and an impact-resistant design to help boost its lifespan. It also comes with a three-year guarantee, so you'll have peace of mind that you've always got a backup power source.

It’s around 30% smaller than many similar power stations, so it's an easy option to carry with you on the go.

You can find this Anker deal at Amazon right now.
