Snap Map and Group Chats have already given Snapchat users ways to coordinate meetups, but they were never built to handle the full planning process. Details such as the date, time, guest list, and RSVPs could still end up scattered across conversations.
A new feature called Snapchat Plans is meant to fix that by giving users a dedicated place to create an event, send invitations, track RSVPs, and keep everything organized in one place.
Users can create a Plan by adding a title, date, and time, then invite up to 200 mutual friends. Events can also use dynamic Bitmoji cover art that changes as people respond.
Invitations arrive through individual chats, where friends can RSVP as Going, Maybe, or Can’t Go. Hosts can check the attendee list, invite additional people, or change event details later. Guests can also see who else is attending and update their response at any time.
Snapchat sends a reminder one hour before the event starts, which should help avoid the classic problem of someone forgetting about plans buried several days back in a group chat.
A new My Plans section on user profiles keeps current, upcoming, and past events in one place. Friendship Profiles also get an Our Plans section that shows events shared between two friends. Snap says Plans are private and invite-only. The feature can be used for birthday celebrations, sporting events, study sessions, weekend hangouts, or other meetups.
There is already plenty of planning happening inside Snapchat. According to the company, 35% of recently surveyed U.S. Snapchatters between the ages of 13 and 24 said they use group chats to make plans and organize events. Snapchat also says users will soon be able to create a Plan directly from a chat. For now, the dedicated Plans feature gives those conversations somewhere more organized to go once people decide they actually want to meet.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
