How to leave video messages on FaceTime in iOS 17
Apple’s iOS 17 brought a host of new features, including the option to leave video messages on FaceTime. While younger generations typically dread hearing their phones ring and seeing that someone has left a voicemail, Apple’s new video version might be a hit. Now, when you call someone on FaceTime, if there’s no answer you’ll have the option to record and send a video message. Please note: Both you and your recipient must be running iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 to send and receive FaceTime video messages.
Step by step: How to send a FaceTime video message
Step 1: Go to the FaceTime app
Leaving a video message via FaceTime is pretty simple. All you have to do is initiate a FaceTime call like you normally would. This can be done in a few ways but the easiest way would be to go to the FaceTime app.
Step 2: Initiate the FaceTime call
Once in the app, tap the New FaceTime button, select the contact you’re trying to reach then tap FaceTime at the bottom. If no picks up, you’ll see “[Contact] is Unavailable” and you’ll be presented with two options. You can either call them again or hit Record Video to do just that.

Step 3: Tap the Record Video option
Select Record Video and get ready to shoot your shot. You’ll see an onscreen countdown and then you can record your message.
Step 4: Send your video message
After you’re done saying what you need to say, you can send it by tapping Send, which looks like a white button circle with a green arrow inside, or you can select Retake.

Apple has also included a Save option, which means you can save the video message you just recorded directly to your Camera Roll. Or if you’d prefer not to send the message at all, you can simply hit Cancel.
But if you do go through with sending your video message, the recipient will be able to view it in the missed call log within their FaceTime app. Once there, they’ll have the option to return your call, watch the video message or save it to their Camera Roll.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/how-to-leave-video-messages-on-facetime-in-ios-17-130032594.html?src=rss

New in Firefox 118: Private Local, Browser-Based Website Translating
An anonymous reader shared this report from Liliputing.com:
Web browsers have had tools that let you translate websites for years. But they typically rely on cloud-based translation services like Google Translate or Microsoft’s Bing Translator. The latest version of Mozilla’s Firefox web browser does things differently. Firefox 118 brings support for Fullpage Translation, which can translate websites entirely in your browser. In other words, everything happens locally on your computer without any data sent to Microsoft, Google, or other companies.
Here’s how it works. Firefox will notice when you visit a website in a supported language that’s different from your default language, and a translate icon will show up in the address bar. Tap that icon and you’ll see a pop-up window that asks what languages you’d like to translate from and to. If the browser doesn’t automatically detect the language of the website you’re visiting, you can set these manually… You can also tap the settings icon in the translation menu and choose to “always translate” or “never translate” a specific language so that you won’t have to manually invoke the translation every time you visit sites in that language.
Firefox is support nine languages so far.

Early iPhone 16 leak hints at larger screens for the Pro and Pro Max models
Another rumor has arrived suggesting that the Pro and Pro Max will get 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays accordingly.
The launch of the iPhone 15 not only means we have some shiny new smartphones to look at – see our iPhone 15 review for details – it also means the iPhone 16 rumors and leaks can start up in earnest.
On the topic of the 2024 iPhone range, the usually reliable MacRumors has obtained some information about the weights and dimensions of the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The headline news would seem to be that the more expensive Pro models are getting a bump in terms of screen size: the iPhone 16 Pro display will apparently measure 6.3 inches corner to corner, compared with 6.1 inches for the iPhone 15 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max display is tipped to measure 6.9 inches, up from 6.7 inches on this year’s model.
Next year’s Pro and Pro Max are going to be a little wider, taller, and heavier as a result, according to the information obtained by MacRumors. Meanwhile, Apple is expected to stick with the same Grade 5 Titanium material used in the 2023 Pro and Pro Max.
More models
When it comes to the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus, it sounds as though there won’t be too much change in terms of dimensions. The phones will be ever so slightly heavier than their predecessors though, by two grams in each case.
MacRumors also suggests that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are in line for a redesigned camera bump, with a vertical alignment for the lenses reminiscent of the design we saw back with the iPhone 12.
The same report mentions a potential new Capture button on all models of the iPhone 16, which is something that has been mentioned before. Other iPhone 16 rumors have pointed towards a very decent set of camera upgrades as well.
It’s not the first time that we’ve heard about super-sized versions of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, but MacRumors is keen to emphasize that this information is “remarkably early” in the development of the phones, and that the designs are “far from being finalized” – so bear that in mind.
