Facebook Messenger option to sign up with mobile number removed, now requires Facebook account

Facebook has quietly removed the option to sign up with mobile number and has now made it a mandatory requirement to sign up with a Facebook Account. Earlier, users could sign up with their mobile numbers instead of a Facebook account for both Messenger and Messenger Lite. The change was confirmed in an article by Venturebeat. A spokesperson has reportedly told Venturebeat that new users of Messenger will require a Facebook account to chat with friend and close connections. They also noted that most current users already have signed into their Facebook account when using the app and that nothing will happen to those users who have been using Messenger without an account. However the change has not been completely smooth as some users on Reddit have reported that their account access has been restricted, suggesting that the app has some bugs with this change. The change is likely part of Facebook's strategy of unification of its three major messaging services, Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram. Facebook has steadily been introducing its name throughout the app as recently it made an update to these three apps. Facebook is also reported working on integrating and unifying the background infrastructure that is running these apps. Via

4K and 8K video recording to get easier as Android 11 to remove 4GB file size limit

Soon, you might be able to record larger video files for 4K recordings as code has been spotted in Android 11 AOSP code that removes the current 4GB file limitation. This will update a decision taken by Google back in 2014 to set the 4GB approximate file size limit as that was all that required at the time. Times have changed since then as 4K recording and video file sizes have increased massively and can easily hit the size limit. At the moment, when you record 4K videos, if you cross the 4GB limit, Android will automatically continue recording onto a new separate file seamlessly. However, it will not combine the files into a single one which can be cumbersome to the user when viewing. Based on the new code submitted by Google to Android AOSP code, Google is supposedly planning to remove this file size limitation. What Google is planning is to move from a 32-bit file size limit to a 64-bit limit file size limit. This basically allows a huge file size which can even fill up your whole phone with just one file. Though, Google is expected to set a more reasonable maximum file size once testing is completed. Android ...
