These are the daily tech headlines for Friday, November 14, 2025. I'm Rob Dunwood. OpenAI is piloting a new group chat feature in ChatGPT. Currently available to free plus and Team users in select regions including Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and Taiw. This feature allows groups of up to 20 people to collaborate on mobile and web platforms using the GPT 5.1 auto model for responses and includes capabilities like search, image generation and file uploads. OpenAI is implementing privacy measures such as private chats remaining separate and group chats being invitation only, and is applying content filtering for minors. ChatGPT has also been trained with new social skills to better facilitate group interactions. Reflecting on OpenAI's move toward becoming a social platform, Mozilla, the creator of Firefox, is developing a new user controlled AI browsing feature called AI Window. This feature, which will include an AI assistant and Chatbot, is intended to be an independent alternative to existing AI experiences, acting as a trusted companion to guide users across the web. The AI Window will be offered as the third browsing option alongside Private and Classic Windows, allowing users to select their preferred AI model and is being built openly with user input. A new app called Divine, backed by Twitter co founder Jack Dorsey and financed by his nonprofit, is launching to revive Vine's six second looping videos. The project was spearheaded by early Twitter employee Evan Henshaw Plath, aka Rabble, who recovered over 100,000 archive vine clips from backup files. The app will allow users to create new videos while notably preventing suspected generative AI. Rabble successfully retrieved a good percentage of the most popular Vines and believes there is a demand for this installation Non AI social experience built on nostr, a decentralized protocol favored by Dorsey. During Disney's latest earnings call, CEO Bob Iger announced that the Disney streaming service is exploring incorporating short form user generated AI video content. Citing productive conversations with potential AI partners, Iger suggested AI would create a much more engaged experience by allowing users to create and consume short form content. This move is a significant pivot for Disney, a company known for fiercely protecting its intellectual property and recently taking legal action against several AI platforms. Though Iger insisted any partnership would need to reflect our need to protect the ip, Apple has launched the Apple Store Mini Apps Partner program, which halves the commission rate from 30% to 15% for developers on in app purchases within many apps, small, often web based experiences hosted inside a larger app. To qualify, developers must support both iOS and iPad and integrate Apple's Advanced Commerce API and the declared Age Range API which helps enforce parental controls. This new program is one of the several changes Apple has made to free its structure amid global regulatory pressure regarding monopolistic and anti competitive claims. A Berlin court has ruled that Google must pay approximately 465 million euros in damages to the German price comparison platform Idealo for market abuse, finding that the US Technology giant had abused its dominant market position, a ruling which can be appealed. In addition to damages for Idealo, the court also awarded 107 million euros to Producto, the company operating another German price comparison site. Meta is rolling out third party integration for WhatsApp in Europe over the coming months, as mandated by the Digital Markets Act. The feature, starting with services like Birdiechat and Hikit, will support various media types while maintaining WhatsApp's end to end encryption. Users in DMA covered regions on iOS and Android can opt in via Settings Notific, choosing to integrate third party messages into their main inbox or keep them separate. Though Meta cautions that third party apps may have different data handling practices, Tesla is reportedly testing the integration of Apple CarPlay into its vehicles, a significant reversal from the long standing resistance to third party infotainment, likely due to user demand. While this move is a surprise given its proprietary system and the history between Elon Musk and Apple, the feature will run in separate window using the standard CarPlay version, not the CarPlay Ultra. This integration comes at a time when some Automakers such as GM are starting to remove CarPlay support in favor for their own systems, suggesting that CarPlay's popularity might be declining. Samsung Electronics has drastically raised the contract prices for certain memory chips up to 60% compared to September, with the price of 32 GB DDR5 chips increasing from $149 to $239. This significant height is a result of intense global demand for AI data centers, which has created a server chip. Short price increase is expected to raise costs for major companies building data infrastructure and could also impact the price of consumer electronics. This shortage is financially beneficial for Samsung, which is seeing rising profits and is predicted to have a quarterly contract pricing rise by 40 to 50% in the October December period, surpassing the industry average.
