    NewsBytes Briefing: WhatsApp gets desktop voice calling, and more

    Nothing drives innovation more than your consumer base waking up and saying no to the abuse. At least, that seems to be why Facebook has been adding new and shiny features at an impressive rate. The latest feature of adding voice and video calling to WhatsApp's desktop app is yet another desperate move by Facebook to stop users from leaving the messaging app for competitors.

    Epic Games isn't the only one crying hoarse about Apple's steep 30% App Store revenue cut. Turns out, iOS app developers in the UK have been complaining about it as well and the UK's competition regulatory authority is doing something about it.

    The next Nintendo Switch will be 4K capable

    Speaking of exorbitantly priced hardware, the next Nintendo Switch is rumored to go into production by June with a holiday 2021 launch.

But either way, how the rocket recovered after losing two out of three engines during the critical touchdown phase speaks volumes of SpaceX's engineering chops.

    Netflix wants to be the TikTok of streaming content

    Netflix will soon be incorporating a continuous TikTok-esque feed of funny clips from its massive library of stand-up shows, sitcoms, and movies. Its Fast Laughs short clips can also take you to the full content. The idea is to use it as a means for rapid content discovery to draw users into the content they otherwise wouldn't have searched for.
