, PS4, and Vita.Speaking of syncing saves, Sound Shapes allows players to send their progress from one iteration of the game to the other. And while I preferred playing Sound Shapes on Vita, the PS3 and PS4 versions are equally splendid in both core gameplay and content creation. Likewise, created stages cobbled together with the game’s intuitive creation tools can also be shared and played across platforms, and part of Sound Shapes’ lasting appeal will no doubt be derived from the player-created stages that will undoubtedly get more complex and impressive as time goes on.With that said, I encountered issues with both syncing my saves between games and playing user-generated content. It took me around 10 tries to get my PS3 to read my synced Vita save in particular – a problem a producer on the game told me was due to being signed into the PSN before booting the game up – but regardless, the issue exists. Likewise, I tried to play a handful of user-generated levels and would get error messages just as many times as I would be able to successfully jump in and get playing. The reason for these issues remain to be seen, and again, a fix would be nice. We might be getting an Instagram mute button and a bunch of other features, I hope. Twitter user @wongmjane posted about various tests Instagram has conducted or is currently testing. Jane Wong is apparently a computer science student who appears to be looking through the app’s code.

Instagram told The Verge it didn’t “have anything to share on this right now,” regarding the apparent tests. While they’re unconfirmed for now, it’s at least fun to imagine that they’re legitimate and that Instagram is thinking about improving its platform with some of these changes.

Let’s run through all the tests Wong has supposedly uncovered.
