Snapchat has rolled out expanded arrival notifications on Snap Map, extending its Home Safe feature with more flexible location-based alerts. The update allows users to automatically notify trusted friends when they reach selected destinations, moving beyond home-only confirmations to support everyday routines such as classes, meetings, travel stops, and social plans. Since the launch of Home Safe, over one million users have already used the feature to confirm safe arrivals.

Twitch’s Plus Program (Image Via Getty) Twitch’s new “Plus Program” has quickly become a big talking point among streamers after some creators said their long-standing 70/30 revenue split might be removed. The platform introduced the system as a new way to manage how subscription money is shared, and many creators immediately began asking what it means for their income. The discussion grew online after clips of streamers reacting to emails spread across X, creating confusion and concern. At its core, the Plus Program has two levels. Level 1 gives streamers a 60/40 net revenue share, while Level 2 keeps the popular 70/30 split. To reach these levels, creators must earn “Plus Points” for three months in a row. Twitch says the system is designed to standardize payouts, but reactions from streamers show many are still unsure about how the changes will affect them going forward. Twitch Plus Program explained as Kalei and Stable Ronaldo react to 70/30 revenue split concerns According to Twitch’s official support page, creators collect Plus Points through recurring subscriptions. Tier 1 subscriptions add one point, Tier 2 adds two points, and Tier 3 adds six points. Points are counted monthly from the first day of the

People are absorbed in their smartphones as they wait for a Moscow metro train on February 12, 2026. Hector Ramal/AFP/Getty Images Russia officially confirmed the blocking of the WhatsApp messenger on its territory and recommends citizens switch to the state-supported Max app. The decision is tied to a violation of the law by the parent company, but details are not publicly disclosed. Alongside this, there have been reports of restrictions on access to Telegram – another popular service among the population, the military, and government agencies, including the Kremlin and Roskomnadzor. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday that the blocking of WhatsApp was adopted due to violations of the law by the parent company, without specifying concrete details. “Max is a readily available market alternative for citizens; a national messenger is developing. Regarding the blocking of WhatsApp, our authorities have indeed stated that the decision was made and implemented because the corporation was unwilling to comply with the law.” In response, WhatsApp released a statement saying that the Russian government allegedly “tried to completely block WhatsApp” – such a move allegedly would lead to greater subordination to state oversight. “An attempt to isolate more than 100 million users

Last season, Kentucky saw Otega Oweh return to face his former team when the Cats visited Oklahoma. Earlier this season, it was Mo Dioubate, who returned to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama. On Saturday, it will be Denzel Aberdeen making a return to his former school when No. 25 Kentucky visits 14th-ranked Florida in Gainesville. Aberdeen played three seasons for the Gators, including last year when Florida won the national championship. Kentucky head coach Mark Pope discussed Aberdeen’s return to Gainesville during his Thursday press conference. The UK head man is not concerned about how Aberdeen will be affected. “I think D.A. is pretty steady right now,” Pope said. “His play over the last month has been phenomenal. He’s had huge number games. He went on a four or five-game tear where his numbers were just outrageous.” Over the last nine games, Aberdeen has been a steady part of the UK attack. He’s averaging 14.3 points per game during the current streak, including a season-high 22-point effort at Tennessee in January. Aberdeen also leads the team in assists (29) over the last nine games. The senior’s play has contributed to Kentucky winning eight of the nine games during this span. “You
