The global social media platform Instagram has launched a long-awaited update allowing users to edit their comments after they have been posted. This new functionality provides a seamless way to correct grammatical errors or modify the tone of a message without the need to delete and repost the entire text.
The service allows for a 15-minute window following the initial publication of a comment to perform any necessary edits. During this timeframe, users are permitted to make an unlimited number of revisions, enabling them to refine their communication and improve the overall clarity of their interactions.
To utilize this tool, users can select the "Edit" option from the comment management menu. Once the changes are finalized, a small label will appear next to the comment timestamp, notifying other viewers that the original text has been modified by its author.
As Instagram's monthly active user base continues to grow into the billions, this enhancement aims to streamline digital conversations. By reducing the frequency of deleted posts and manual corrections, the platform continues to refine its user experience and promote higher-quality engagement.
On-the-Go Power: Japanese Engineers Develop Wireless In-Road Charging for Electric Vehicles
10 Oct. 08:10In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.
The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
