Despite its already huge userbase, Facebook still appears to be growing. The platform is one of the most popular and successful social media platforms in the world and the number of users has now crossed a whopping 2 billion.

According to a new report, the near 20 year old social media giant is still continuing to grow. On Meta’s fourth and final quarter earnings report, it was revealed that the platform added 16 million users in the last quarter alone. This enabled it to cross the major milestone of 2 billion daily users mark. While this is an impressive figure, it isn’t the only company under Meta to reach such a high figure. The WhatsApp messenger service also recently reached the daily active user count of 2 billion.

However, Facebook is the tech giant’s largest source of revenue from advertisements, which is quite impressive considering that Meta has made major cuts in its business over the last couple of months. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had hinted at the restructuring, which eventually lead to the cutting of more than 11,000 jobs. He further added that the company’s “management theme for 2023 is the ‘Year of Efficiency.’”

Zuckerberg also suggested that Meta will continue to prioritize efficiency, adding that “We’re going to be more proactive about cutting projects that aren’t performing or may no longer be as crucial”. He stated that “Generative AI is an extremely exciting new area with so many different applications. And one of my goals for Meta is to build on our research to become a leader in generative AI.”

Huawei has just announced that its global update for its Android 10 OS based EMUI 10 custom skin, has officially crossed over 100 million users. The update brought the new generation of Android OS and is now fairly distributed amongst the company’s smartphone offerings.

The EMUI 10 first arrived back in September 2019. It was first launched with the Huawei Mate 30 series before being more widely rolled out. Over the past couple of months, developers from the Chinese tech giant have worked to include a total of 33 different smartphone models for the EMUI 10 update. For those unaware, EMUI 10 is a proprietary custom skin from Huawei and brings the latest Android 10 major updates as well.

Since it is a custom skin, it arrives with various unique functions, features and other newly developed technologies from Huawei. This includes the company’s latest GPU Turbo, EROFS file system, Ark compiler, and an AI assistant amongst many other new inclusions. It also featured many system wide improvements for the user interface that made for a more comfortable and smoother user experience and also added the highly appreciated dark mode.

Unlike the monotonous black and white displays on most OLED screens, Huawei’s update brought support for colored always on displays with bright backgrounds and patterns. One of the notable features that made it in the major update included the better cross connection between the Huawei ecosystem. In other words, it was more seamless to bring files and data over from one’s smartphone to the company’s Matebook series of Windows laptops. This is again just a few examples of the various upgrades, and it is a great moment for Huawei that has achieved a great new milestone even amidst the Coronavirus outbreak.
