Meta launches Muse Code AI coding agent

Meta released Muse Code (beta) on August 5, 2026 — a terminal-installable, single-command tool that coordinates multi-agent coding workflows across repositories while leaving the user’s working copy untouched. It runs on Muse Spark 1.2 (two variants), available inside Muse Code and via the Meta Model API with pay-as-you-go access. Muse Code launches parallel sub-agents in isolated worktrees, runs persistent background agents that resume after crashes, can access local files, GitHub and the web, and logs model calls, tool use, approvals and changes locally; integrated skills include /plan, /grill and /goal. Pricing includes a lower-cost Contributor tier (data opt-in for model training) and a private tier that disallows training, and Meta accepts zero-data-retention enterprise requests. Mark Zuckerberg announced the launches as part of a developer-tools push.

WhatsApp adds three group chat features including @all

WhatsApp (Meta) rolled out three group-chat features: an @all mention that can notify every member (including in muted chats unless a user opts out) — in groups larger than 32 people @all is limited to admins — enhanced polls with a fixed end time, optional anonymous voting and a 15-minute edit window, and a one-tap option to create a similar group from an existing group. The changes were described in a WhatsApp blog post; WhatsApp has more than three billion users. The article, a republished contribution from OnlineMarketing.de appearing on t3n, also notes a competing Signal update that lets users link additional Android devices and iPhones to an existing account and includes a Usercentrics consent note for embedded Twitter content.

Community Project Revives ICQ as 'ICQ Reborn'

ICQ was permanently discontinued on June 26, 2024. A community project, ICQ Reborn, revives the classic ICQ experience—UINs, the iconic "Uh‑oh" sound and a 2002-style interface—and is distributed as a free Windows client (v1.3); there is no official mobile app yet. The project is an independent, fan-run effort not affiliated with the official ICQ owners (Mail.ru Group) and is presented as a nostalgic tech hobby rather than a modern messaging competitor. ICQ Reborn runs on a private XMPP server and currently lacks end-to-end encryption, which, along with potential stability limitations, raises security concerns; users are advised not to share sensitive information on the service.
