US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra.

Instagram is testing a new feature that looks just like its rival BeReal app

It has been a while since Instagram introduced a new feature on the platform. In a recent experiment, the Meta-owned photo-sharing platform is working on a feature called Candid Challenges. This feature resembles that of the popular French social media app called BeReal. The feature was spotted by the popular developer Alessandro Paluzzi who is known for reverse engineering apps and revealing early versions of upcoming updates.

Instagram is testing a new Candid Challenges feature: How it works

An Instagram official has confirmed to Engadget that the Candid Challenges is an “internal prototype” but remained tight-lipped regarding other details.

With the new feature, users will see a notification once a day when they can take a snap of their surroundings. Every time they get a prompt, the front and rear Instagram cameras open up. It gives a two-minute window to click a picture. These pictures will appear in the Stories section of the homepage.

The reason why this looks like the BeReal app is that it also prompts users to click a picture that expires after a span of two minutes. These pictures can also be shared by their friends and will disappear within the day.

Notably, Instagram has already rolled out the functionality of shooting with rear and front cameras simultaneously. This feature is called a Dual Camera. As per the company, this feature enables users to record the content and the reaction at the same time. The feature essentially uses the phone’s front and rear cameras to “share another perspective using the Dual feature in the Instagram camera.”

Hence, chances are, this feature will also roll out for mainstream users. However, it is not yet confirmed.
