Dec. 18, 2025, 6:40 a.m. CT Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has achieved several on-field milestones in his career. Doubs joined James Lofton and Greg Jennings as the only players in team history with 40+ receptions, 400+ receiving yards, and 3+ receiving touchdowns in their first three seasons. For the second consecutive year, Doubs hosted a holiday toy drive benefiting Toys for Tots. The fourth-year player emphasized the importance of making a positive impact off the field as well as on it. Romeo Doubs has produced some memorable moments during his time with the Green Bay Packers. There were the career-high three touchdown grabs he had against Dallas in a Week 4 tie earlier this season. There was that six-reception, 151-yard outing in the Packers’ 48-32 NFC wild-card win over Dallas in the 2023 season – the third-most receiving yards in a playoff game in team history. He was also on the receiving end of Aaron Rodgers’ 500th career touchdown toss – a 13-yard back-shoulder catch in the fourth quarter against New England in Week 4 of the 2022 season.  » Read More

Have you ever had someone disappear from Snapchat, stop answering your messages, or drop off your friends list? If it seems like your messages aren’t getting answered and you can’t see that person’s stories anymore, you’re probably wondering what happened. Here’s a simple way to know if someone has unadded you from their Snapchat friends list. Does Snapchat Notify When Someone Unadds You? Snapchat does not notify users when someone unadds them. Whether they unadd, remove, or delete you, the result looks mostly the same on the app. It’s also important to remember that similar signs can appear if the person deleted their account, blocked you, or changed their privacy settings. Therefore, relying on just one sign may not give you a clear answer. 1. Check Your Friends List Checking your friends’ list is a quick way to see if someone is still connected with you on Snapchat. Open the Snapchat app. Tap your Profile icon in the top-left corner. Tap on the My Friends section. Search for the username you’re looking for. Search for the username you’re looking for. If the person’s name does not appear in your friends list, they may have removed you. However, keep in mind

Quick Cut auto-applies a track from Snapchat's Sounds library, and keeps the whole edit inside Snapchat, but it's iOS first. Snap Snapchat has started rolling out Snapchat Quick Cut iOS, a Lens-powered video creation tool that turns multiple Memories or Camera Roll clips into a beat-synced, ready-to-share video without leaving the app. The appeal is speed. After you select your photos or clips, Snapchat generates an instant preview of the rendered edit, so you can get to something shareable fast instead of bouncing through a longer manual workflow. The limitation is availability. Quick Cut is iOS-only at launch, and Snap says Android support is coming “soon,” plus expansion to more “surfaces,” but it hasn’t shared dates or a rollout schedule. Quick Cut’s iPhone flow, step by step On iOS, Quick Cut is built to be easy to start. You can launch it from Memories or your Camera Roll, select multiple items at once, and see a preview immediately after choosing your media. From there, the tool leans on Snapchat’s existing creative stack. Quick Cut automatically applies a track from Snapchat’s Sounds library and syncs it to your selected clips. You can customize the result by browsing the Lens carousel or

The families of two teenaged boys who died by suicide after interacting with Meta’s Instagram have sued the US social media company, saying they will use internal Meta documents to support their claims of negligence. The case, filed in Delaware, involves two incidents of sexual blackmail, or “sextortion”, with one of the boys being from Pennsylvania and the other from Scotland, NBC News reported. Meta is being targeted by at least four other sexual blackmail-related lawsuits alleging Instagram is defective and that Meta has been negligent by not dealing with the problem for years, the report said. ‘Foreseeable consequence’ The cases come as Australia this month begins enforcing a ban on social media for under-16s, due to safety concerns. Matthew Bergman, the families’ lead lawyer, said the incidents were a “foreseeable consequence of the deliberate design decisions that Meta made”. He said Meta’s internal documents showed they were aware of the sexual blackmail problem and that it prioritised profits over the safety of young people. Meta did not immediately have a comment, but in a statement last year Instagram called sexual blackmail a horrific crime and said it is working with law enforcement to prosecute perpetrators and is working to
