Now Cortana for Android beta can read your texts out loud
Cortana for Android has just made it easier to use your phone hands-free -- so long as you're a beta tester for the voice assistant on the platform, that is. Microsoft has given Cortana's beta version the power to read text messages aloud, less than a month after the stable version of the app got the ability to text messages using your voice. Combined, the two features make it possible to communicate back and forth even while you're driving, cooking or doing any other task that requires the use of both hands.

© Jaap Arriens/NurPhoto via Getty Images Facebook is rolling out a redesigned bookmarks section in its app that will make it easier to navigate and access various Facebook settings - including Account Settings, Privacy Shortcuts, News Feed Preferences, Activity Log, Payments Settings, access to Help & Support, and more. None of the options in the updated menu are new to Facebook. Instead, the changes are focused on centralizing a variety of controls that were previously located in other places, where they may have been unknown to some users.
The updated menu, at first glance, appeared to be a continuation of the redesign
Android P will finally be able to remember your Bluetooth headphone volume settings
Android P is finally fixing its Bluetooth volume settings with an update that will allow the mobile OS to remember volume preferences on a device-by-device basis, according to Android Police.Now, Android will store the last volume used on each device in a preference file and automatically set back to that the next time you connect to that device. It’s not exactly a big change, but as someone who regularly switches between blasting music through a Bluetooth speaker and listening to music on a pair of headphones, it’ll be nice to not have my eardrums blown out every time I switch between the two devices.

At the time, the company promised a revamped settings menu on mobile that moves settings from across 20 different screens to a single place. It also launched the menu item "Privacy Shortcuts," where you can lock down who can view your profile or contact you as well as learn about how to protect your privacy on its social network.
However, Facebook tells us this redesign was not related to the earlier
Now the entire Bookmarks menu is getting a makeover, where controls aren't just centralized, but some have moved to the forefront instead of being buried behind an extra click.

The Bookmarks menu has also been given a new look and updated icons. While most of the list remains colorful, all the Settings Bookmarks appear in shades of gray to differentiate them.
Facebook lets creators turn video premieres into live events
If you watch enough Twitch channels, you may have seen a Premiere -- a pre-recorded video that debuts as a live stream. It lets broadcasters recreate the thrill you'd expect from a TV show premiere, just in an online format. Sound like a good idea? Facebook agrees. It's testing Premieres, an option that lets creators launch canned videos as Facebook Live moments, complete with real-time chats. You can check out a movie trailer or Watch show at the same time as everyone else, rather than racing to watch them on your own before your friends spoil everything.

Facebook confirmed the change to the Bookmarks section has begun to roll out to new users worldwide as part of a staged rollout.
"We've been looking into how to make Bookmarks easier to navigate and more relevant for people for some time," a Facebook spokesperson told TechCrunch. "We hope this update, similar to the ones we've been making recently, will help people navigate Facebook more easily so they can continue to connect with the people, Pages and Groups they log on to see."

The redesign comes at a time when Facebook is being heavily scrutinized over its data privacy protections for users, which has led to changes in other areas of its business as well - including its API (app) platform, apps' access to user data, data portability and more. It had already acknowledged that some of its controls were too hard to find in the past, and it needed to correct that.
The new look for Bookmarks will be scaled to all users globally across all platforms over the next two weeks, Facebook told us.
Facebook will alert you if Cambridge Analytica grabbed your data .
Facebook says it will notify 87 million users of its service that they affected by the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which saw the data analytics firm snap up their personal information through the social network to influence voters. The news comes ahead of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s appointment to testify before Congress this week, over the company’s role in enabling Cambridge Analytica to gather data and profile users.
