Hi there! You’re right—the PS5 has Bluetooth, but Sony blocks most Bluetooth headphones because of latency issues. If you try connecting directly, the console often refuses or won’t let you use the mic. The simplest workaround is a Bluetooth adapter. You can plug a USB dongle into one of the PS5’s ports (front or back), pair your headphones, and you’re good to go. There are adapters made specifically for PlayStation that reduce audio delay and sometimes support mic input. Another option is using the 3.5mm headphone jack on the DualSense controller. Just grab an aux cable (or Bluetooth transmitter that connects via 3.5mm) and link it up. I personally use a small adapter that plugs into my controller, and the sound is solid. Mic doesn’t always work great on cheaper adapters, though. So yes, you can do it, but direct pairing isn’t supported—an adapter is the way to go.

Instagram doesn’t notify story screenshots. If someone saves your story with a screenshot, you won’t know. The only workaround is restricting your story visibility. Notifications only happen in DMs for disappearing photos or videos, not for regular stories.

I tested this with a friend: we sent 20 snaps back and forth, and our scores went up by exactly 20 each. Posting to stories gave smaller increases. But chatting didn’t move the score at all. So yeah, it’s all about snaps, not texts.

Hi, this is a really common question, and honestly, Instagram doesn’t make it easy. As of now, there isn’t a button to flat-out “hide” your followers list from everyone. If your account is public, anyone can see who follows you and who you follow. If you switch to a private account, only the people you approve as followers can see that list. That’s the closest thing to hiding it.

What some people do if they want even more privacy is curate their followers manually. You can remove certain followers without blocking them—they won’t get notified, but they’ll lose access to your followers list. Another option is to block specific accounts if you absolutely don’t want them to see.

There’s no official “hide followers from followers” feature yet, though people have been requesting it for years. I’ve seen Instagram test features like “hidden likes” and “notes,” so maybe one day they’ll roll something out for followers lists too. Until then, your best bet is either switching to private or cleaning up your followers list. Not perfect, but it gives you some control.
