Washington [US], June 24 (ANI): After launching its e-commerce integration 'Shops' to Instagram in 2020, the social networking giant Facebook is rolling out the same feature on WhatsApp.
The 'Shops' feature is an e-commerce integration of Facebook which was launched as a measure to help businesses sell their products digitally.
According to Mashable, the upcoming integration on WhatsApp will benefit both the users and sellers as it will make it easier for the users to get products through shops in selected countries.
Meanwhile, in order to assist businesses to sell their products to quite one billion monthly visitors worldwide, Facebook will reportedly add 'Shops' to the US marketplace too.

Facebook also revealed that it will display product ratings and reviews on 'Shops' in Instagram with additional details like supporting media from the community soon.
Another update that has been introduced is 'shop ads'. Mashable reported that the advertisements on 'shops' are intended to offer people a customised shopping experience dependent on their shopping behaviour.
The new experience will "send shoppers to where they are most likely to make a purchase" supported by their shopping preference.
Facebook will also test an AI-based capability called Visual Search on Instagram, over the approaching months to assist people to upload their own photos so as to look for similar products.
The social networking giant will also make it possible to fit or try the product before buying it. The integration has been introduced keeping in mind the shoppers who prefer to buy items virtually. (ANI)

Curapod review: The Future of at-home pain management?

Curapod review: The Future of at-home pain management?

The Curapod by Litemed operates on the principles of Photobiomodulation (PBM). To simplify, it utilizes a combination of red and near-infrared (NIR) light. These specific wavelengths are designed to penetrate up to 70mm into the tissue. Unlike a standard heat pack, which is commonly seen in almost every household and only provides surface-level relief, Curapod targets cellular activity and local blood flow to support the body's natural recovery process. It is a non-invasive, drug-free approach aimed at common pain points like the lower back, knees, and shoulders.

Review: GoBoult Mustang Thunder Headphones

Review: GoBoult Mustang Thunder Headphones

The last time I tried the Mustang edition buds by Boult, I felt there was a sense of getting more out of it; I expected more from this partnership. So, when Boult (now GoBoult) launched these over-ear headphones in collaboration with Ford, I knew I had to try them. I can see their goal which is to bring the high-octane spirit of the Boss 302 Mustang to our ears at a competitive price point of INR 2,999. After using them for over a month, here is my breakdown of whether they live up to the legacy.

Review: Cooking the future with upliance 2.0 - A worthy kitchen upgrade?

I like cooking; it works like meditation for me. The process of preparing and gathering ingredients, imagining new possibilities, and eventually enjoying the meal brings me genuine happiness. I always keep an eye on new market trends, so when I heard about the upliance 2.0, I was intrigued--especially by the strong AI element. This next-generation 'kitchen companion' promises to take the guesswork out of cooking while operating 40% faster than the previous model. After testing the product and whipping up several dishes, here is my take on whether this INR 39,999 appliance deserves a spot on your counter.
