Suno has added an iMessage extension to its iOS app, letting users generate 30-second songs from voice recordings or typed prompts inside a Messages conversation.
The feature is available in the latest version of the Suno app and requires both people in the chat to have it installed. Users can access Suno from the plus menu in Messages, create a track, and share it without opening the standalone app.
You can record a voice prompt or tap the keyboard icon to type out what you want. Suno will then turn the prompt into a 30-second song that can be shared directly in the conversation.

The company also recommends copying and pasting a friend’s message into the prompt box, which should produce some ridiculous results in group chats. Both people need to have the Suno app installed for the feature to work. It is a clever extension for an app that already makes song generation incredibly easy.
The new iMessage feature arrives as Suno faces fresh questions about the music used to train its AI models. According to a recent 404 Media investigation, source code obtained after a breach showed that Suno scraped millions of songs, lyrics, and other audio files from services including YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. One file reportedly showed that the company had collected more than two million clips from YouTube Music alone.
Suno previously admitted that its models were trained using music files available across the open internet, but it argues that the practice is protected under fair use. Major record labels sued the company in 2024, accusing it of using copyrighted recordings without permission. Warner Music has since settled its case and reached a licensing agreement with Suno. However, lawsuits involving Universal Music Group and Sony Music remain unresolved.
The new iMessage chat-to-song feature sounds like harmless fun, but the technology behind it remains tied to one of the music industry’s biggest copyright disputes.
Instagram is testing a new format for long-form videos called Features. It allows select creators to upload horizontal videos running up to 90 minutes long. Instagram has already tested the new format with creators in Brazil, and now, it's expanding to tens of thousands of creators across the US.
How will Instagram's new Features format work?
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.
Instagram brings Reels and more to Apple TV
I have lost count of how many times I have gone to bed thinking I will finally sleep on time, only to somehow end up scrolling Instagram or X again. A few minutes turn into an hour, then another, and before I notice, it is 2 or 3 a.m. The next morning, I am usually annoyed with myself because I could have just slept and felt considerably better for the day ahead.
It is also a surprisingly hard habit to beat. Knowing you should put the phone down does not always help once it is already in your hand. Brick Night is a new gadget built around that exact problem. Instead of relying on you to remember to turn on an app blocker, it automatically restricts selected apps and websites when your phone enters your chosen sleep space during the hours you set.
