Matter, The New Smart Home Standard, Is Delayed Until 2022
Owners of smart home systems may know about Zigbee, but the company recently changed its name to Matter.
Matter is the new expected generation of Zigbee, but it doesn’t seem like we’ll be getting it soon. Developers intended this new standard to enter the market in 2021. However, some software delays were causing the launch to move to 2022, at the earliest.

Epic Games Vs. Google and Apple
Epic Games is suing Google and Apple. You never thought you’d read that, huh? According to them, the corporations act like monopolies in their control of mobile apps on Android and iOS devices.
The lawsuit arose after Epic Games installed its own payment system to Fortnite’s mobile edition. This action violated both businesses’ app store regulations, stipulating that outside companies must make payments made within their shops through their extremely expensive payment systems.
Messenger’s New Encryptions
Facebook Messenger has introduced encryption to its audio and video calling functions, joining WhatsApp and Instagram as the third encryption-focused messaging app.
This comes after the business said that encryption would be implemented “end to end” across its messaging suite, including private chats.
