1. Galaxy Unpacked takes place today
Samsung's official event page says Galaxy Unpacked begins in London on 22 July at 16:00 Finnish time. The company confirms that the stream will cover the Galaxy Z series and the wider Galaxy lineup. As of this morning, the exact devices, prices and Finnish availability have not yet been announced officially.
2. Threads adds parental supervision — starting in the US
Meta said on 21 July that parental supervision will begin rolling out to Threads next week in the United States. Through Family Center, parents can view time spent, set daily and overnight limits, and manage tagging, privacy and sensitive-content preferences. When supervision is enabled, users under 16 need parental approval to make protections less strict.
