ChatGPT is making some changes for users.

Free users now have an improved experience with unlimited text-based chats and making its GPT-5.6 Luna model the default for free users. Previously, unless you paid extra, you could only send so many messages during a specific timeframe. It has also added a new “Think” button that lets free users “access higher reasoning for harder questions.”

While text chats will now be unlimited, OpenAI says limits are still in place for file uploads, images and other tools.

Another popular app making some changes- Bumble is going swipe free!

The online dating app announced its forgoing the infamous “swipe” feature to focus more on real-world events to attract Gen Z users.

It announced a new feature in the works called Plans designed to connect people in real life in low-pressure group settings.

This comes a few days after Tinder also announced its expanding its in-person events feature to dozens of new cities as it focuses less on its “swipe” feature.
