Meta’s messaging app WhatsApp is positioning itself as more of a Zoom, Teams and Skype competitor by introducing screen sharing during video calls.

The new feature, announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg Tuesday, is leaving beta and will be rolled out gradually to all WhatsApp users over the next few weeks.

“We’re adding the ability to share your screen during a video call on WhatsApp,” Zuckerberg posted in his Instagram broadcast channel Tuesday.

How to share your screen on a WhatsApp video call

If you’re one of the lucky few who already have access to the feature, here’s how to use it:

1. Start a video call with one or more people.
2. Click the new Share icon.
3. Choose whether to share a specific application or your entire screen.
4. Your screen will then be shared with all participants on the call in landscape view. Their video icons will still be visible on the right side of your screen.

Meta has been focused on bringing new features to expand the use of WhatsApp over the last few months, including instant video messages, channels to follow people and brands, locking your intimate chats, editing sent messages, Wear OS integration and the ability to use WhatsApp across multiple phones and move your messages to a new phone.

Google Messages will now be encrypted by default when messaging between Android devices, the company said in a blog post Tuesday.

Previously, it was an option to encrypt your Google Messages, but now it’s set to default. This means that when sending texts between two Android devices, including in group chats, outside actors won’t be able to view or monitor your messages. Encrypted messaging is already the default on services like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram and Apple’s iMessage.

Unfortunately, text messages between iPhone and Android users still lack this encryption. That’s because Apple uses iMessage as the default messaging app, which isn’t available on Android. For encrypted messaging between Android and iPhone, it’s best to use a third-party instant messaging app instead.

Google’s push to make Messages encrypted by default is part of a campaign to get the larger phone industry on board with RCS, or rich communication services. In the early days of cellphone communication, standard SMS text messages were an easy way to communicate without having to jump on a phone call. But as people’s needs became more dynamic, with longer posts, images and videos, SMS didn’t have the baked-in infrastructure to handle these demands. It’s why Apple moved away from standard messages to iMessage in 2011, where larger messages and files could go through its servers. To make the transition easy, Apple made iMessage the default app on iPhones, allowing it to handle both iMessages and standard text messages.

This has meant, however, that those messaging iPhone users from non-Apple devices don’t have their messages encrypted, nor are they able to share pictures or jump into group chats as easily. Their messages also appear in green bubbles.

Still, SMS needs to be phased out. RCS is a standard that Google, Samsung and phone carriers are on board with. Apple has been holding out, citing a lack of incentive or demand from its users. And in court filings revealed during the Apple vs. Epic Games trial, we learned that iMessage is a core reason why people don’t switch from iPhone.

It’s not until you try one that you realize projectors can be awesome outdoors. The best portable projectors are easy to set up in any room of your house or in the great outdoors (or at least your great outdoors). If you’re wondering about picture quality, I’d say fret not, because projectors have come a long way.

Whether you project onto a blank wall or a projector screen, you can capture the picture quality you crave without getting weighed down. They also offer a handful of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, HDMI and Bluetooth, and typically run on batteries. Many mini projectors can give you access to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, Hulu and other streaming services without you having to connect a streaming device or laptop.

Portable projectors do come with some drawbacks, though. One is that many are relatively dim, lacking the brightness of a traditional home theater projector. Meaning they can’t project as large an image as the big guys. Another is that most portable projectors, especially the cheapest ones, often have lower resolution than their larger counterparts, especially 4K projectors. If you’re never going to be far from an outlet, a standard projector will get you a much bigger, brighter and better image for similar money. But if you want something compact, portable and maybe battery-powered, here are our top picks for the best mini projector.

Other products we’ve tested

Anker Nebula Solar Portable: We didn’t like the Solar Portable as much as the BenQ GS50, Xgimi Halo Plus or even its sibling, the Mars II Pro. Its main disadvantage compared to others on this list is its relatively dim image, which means it can’t project as large a picture and still look good. If you want a sleek, budget-friendly portable with 1080p and plan on keeping the image on the small side, however, this is a solid choice. Read our Anker Nebula Solar Portable review.

BenQ GS50: The GS50 is roughly the same size as the Xgimi Halo Plus, and is also 1080p and has a built-in battery. You can even use it as a Bluetooth speaker. However, it’s dimmer than the Xgimi Halo Plus for similar money. Read our BenQ GS50 review.

LG CineBeam PH30N: The LG PH30N is tiny even compared to other portable projectors, even smaller than the AAXA. It’s not particularly bright, however, nor does it have built-in apps. The battery doesn’t last as long as the AAXA either although it is a bit cheaper. Read our LG CineBeam PH30N review.

Samsung Freestyle: The small, cylindrical Freestyle is an interesting idea, but it comes up short. About the size of a Bluetooth speaker, and in fact can double as one, the Freestyle can pivot on its stand to project an image at any height on walls and even the ceiling. Its built-in streaming is far better implemented than most portable projectors. However, it lacks a battery and its performance is average, at best. Worse, its price is a good 50% higher than it should be based on how it looks and performs. Read our Samsung Freestyle review.

Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2: Another relatively expensive small projector we didn’t love, the Xiaomi at least has a gorgeous, Apple-like design going for it. We appreciated the compact size, 1080p resolution and built-in Android TV streaming, but the cons outweigh the pros. It’s relatively dim, especially for the price, and it lacks both a built-in battery and compatibility with a USB power source, so it’s not truly portable. Read our Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 review.

Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K: Since it has a handle and a compact size, the Cosmos Laser 4K is technically portable, but it’s hardly mini at more than 10 pounds. There’s also no battery so you’ll need to plug it in. It’s nice and bright, but the other downsides — lack of zoom, average overall image quality and a steep price for what you get — keep it off this list. Read our Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K Projector review.

BenQ HT2050A: The HT2050 isn’t technically a portable projector at all, but it is compact and roughly the same price as one of the more expensive “portable” options. Its picture is also much better in pretty much every way, so if you’re looking for a projector for use around the home, or maybe backyard, and you don’t need battery power, it’s worth considering. Read our BenQ HT2050A review.

With a family that includes a pre-toddler, I shop for supplies at Target weekly, sometimes multiple times a week, either in the store near me or online. But I didn’t always know about the retail giant’s loyalty program, Target Circle. Now when I shop, I first browse the Target app to check out offers, see how much money I’ve earned to use toward my purchase and download digital coupons.

If you’ve never used Target Circle, it’s easy to sign up and it’s free to use. There are some great perks that come with being a rewards program member — for instance, exclusive offers and savings.

I’ll explain how Target Circle works to save you money and how you can earn cash back while you shop — without a credit card. For more, check out these four ways to save on your next Target shopping spree.

What is Target Circle?

Target Circle is the retailer’s loyalty program, which lets you earn 1% cash back on all your purchases at Target. The program includes personalized offers and digital coupons that you wouldn’t normally get without being a Circle member.

Target Circle benefits

Having a Target Circle membership gets you benefits and deals that other shoppers don’t get. Here’s what they are.

• 1% earnings on every purchase you make at Target. You can use any cashback on future purchases. Even better: If you have a Target RedCard, you can earn 5% cash back.
• Birthday gift of 5% off your purchase.
• Digital coupons for specific store categories — 20% off baby clothes, for example, and 10% off beauty products.
• Personalized bonus offers — for example, you may get a deal that lets you make two qualifying purchases of $60 or more to earn a $10 reward in Target Circle earnings.

You can use up to 75 offers at once. Note that all offers and earnings have an expiration date, so make sure you use them before it’s too late.

How to sign up for Target Circle

If you regularly shop at Target, there’s really no reason not to sign up for its loyalty program. To sign up, visit target.com/circle and click Create account, then provide your email address, name and phone number. You’ll also create a password at this time.

How to use Target Circle rewards

Once you’ve got a Target Circle account, you can begin using it at any time. Make sure you’ve activated any offers and coupons before you head to checkout. If you’re in the store, you just need to enter your phone number on the keypad at checkout or scan your Target Circle barcode.

If you forget to enter your phone number at checkout, enter the receipt numbers on the Target Circle dashboard or use the app to scan the barcode.

If you’re shopping online, just make sure you’re signed in to your account before checking out. You should see all your discounts applied in your cart.

How to redeem Target Circle earnings

After making purchases, you earn 1% cash back that you can use on future trips to the store. There’s no purchase minimum to redeem your earnings, and you can use them at any time on anything you’d like.

To redeem them in-store, head to the Wallet section in the Target app or online. Toggle the switch next to Target Circle earnings. It’ll show you how much you have available to use on a purchase. You’ll then select the box next to your earnings and click Save. Note that your earnings will expire if they aren’t redeemed within one year.

If using online, you’ll be given the option at checkout to apply your earnings.

Bonus: You can even use your Target Circle earnings at Starbucks inside Target.

Get these deals through these Target partners

Target has partnered with several other companies to give Circle rewards members additional deals. Here’s what they are.

• Apple News free for three months.
• Tripadvisor Plus free for one year.
• MLS season pass free for one month.
• AppleTV Plus free for three months.

Following its unveiling in Europe, LG’s huge wireless OLED TV is now available in the US, and it’s just about as expensive as you might expect. LG said Tuesday that the 97-inch LG 97M3 OLED will cost $30,000 — so it’s time to save your pennies.

Additionally, the company announced smaller models with the same wireless tech. The 83-inch OLED Evo M will cost $8,000 while the 77-inch version will come in at $5,000. All three models are set to go on sale later this month on the company’s website and at LG-authorized retailers.

LG’s 97-inch Signature OLED M is still the largest OLED TV in the world, as well as the first to use wireless technology to transmit 4K video and audio to the screen at 120Hz. The TV comes with what LG calls the Zero Connect Box, which houses the standard HDMI plugs and other connections. The box then wirelessly transmits connected content to the TV from up to 30 feet away.

The LG 97M3 OLED debuted at CES in January and CNET’s David Katzmaier got an early look at the technology in action. Sharing his initial impressions of the TV, he remarked that “the image on the screen was from a Blu-ray disc, sent wirelessly — and flawlessly, to my eye — from the box to the TV.” He also selected it as one of the best products of CES 2023.

Though the LG is intended to give users a wire-free viewing experience, the TV does have a power cord, but even that’s cleverly hidden inside one of the legs of the TV stand. The M3 TVs let users simply hide all their gear, including the transmitter box, out of sight in a cabinet.

Wireless TVs and projectors aren’t exactly new, but LG’s TVs are the first to transmit content at such a high bandwidth. Other wireless models, like the Displace OLED TV also featured at CES, were created more for portability than premium viewing. That competitor’s TV comes with a 55-inch battery-powered display and doesn’t need a plug to function. So far, only LG’s TVs can wirelessly stream audio and video at 4K and 120Hz, though electricity is still very much required.

Sony makes some of our favorite over-ear headphones, but not everyone wants or needs to drop close to $400 on a high-end pair like the WH-1000XM5. Its WH-XB910N headphones are a much more affordable alternative that still boast impressive audio and features. And right now you can snag a pair at a discount.

Amazon currently has these noise-canceling headphones on sale for just $148, which saves you over $100 compared to the usual price. There’s no set expiration for this deal, so get your order in sooner rather than later if you don’t want to miss out on these savings.

At around $100 off, these over-ear Sonys are a pretty competitive pair in this price range. They’re equipped with dual microphones on each side for impressive noise-canceling capabilities, as well as solid performance during voice calls. They have solid audio quality, but are designed specifically for powerful, thumping bass — which could be good or bad depending on your tastes and preferences. However, you can tweak the EQ a bit using Sony’s companion app.

These headphones also have an impressive 30-hour battery life, multipoint Bluetooth pairing and intuitive on-ear controls so you can adjust the volume and cycle through songs on the fly.
