Steph Claire Smith makes very graphic birth admission in shock podcast episode - after welcoming her second child with husband Josh Miller
Steph Claire Smith went into very graphic detail on Monday as she shared her birth story with KICPOD listeners. The influencer, 31, welcomed her second child, a baby girl named Billie Claire Miller, with her husband Josh Miller on May 28. Now, the online sensation has revealed with co-host Laura Henshaw the intense moment she was 'on all fours' giving birth, prepared for her body to 'poo' and tear'. 'I started pushing. I cannot even explain how it felt but it was wildly different to having an epidural,' she began, explaining she had a local anaesthetic with her son Harvey. 'I was on all fours this time. I was just pushing everything. I was like, "I'm 100 per cent going to tear, I'm 100 per cent going to poo. I just need this baby out."' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She went on to tell her recently pregnant co-star Laura: 'I sounded like a dying cow. A screaming, dying cow.' Steph and husband Josh welcomed their second child late last month, sharing the exciting news to Instagram as they revealed her name was Billie. 'She's here,' wrote Steph, who also shares four-year-old son Harvey with her partner. 'Billie Claire Miller joined us on Wednesday & we're so in love. So excited to take her home to her big brother.' Alongside the sweet caption, the KICPOD co-host posted a gallery of black and white photos to commemorate the important occasion. One image saw Steph cuddling the bub as she breastfed. In another, she and Josh doted on their bundle of joy, who they dressed in an adorable onesie and white beanie. The final picture in the reel saw Steph cradling her daughter to her chest as she smiled up at the camera. Steph announced in November she was expecting her second child. The Australian fitness influencer took to Instagram to share the joyous news at the time. Steph, who often features her son Harvey in her social media posts, announced the news with a series of black and white photos. In the images, which were also shared by her husband Josh, Steph showed off her baby bump while wearing a skimpy bikini. Son Harvey, husband Josh, and the family's dog were all gathered around Steph in the pictures. In one other image, all members of the family put their hands on her bump. Later, in a wider shot, the family was shown celebrating the new arrival in a park, with Steph shown wearing a straw cowboy hat. Josh was also seen in the foreground smiling at the news in sunglasses and a baseball cap, while their puppy licked Steph's bump. In the caption, the influencer wrote: 'Harvey's going to be a big brother.' Steph and Josh tied the knot in November 2019 in a festival-themed ceremony along the Murray River. They got married exactly one year after getting engaged at the same location. The happy couple went on to welcome their first child Harvey in May 2021.

Every Parent Should Know These 3 iPhone and iPad Parental Controls
As a parent of three young kids with limited screen time, the prospect of handing them their very own iPad or iPhone sends me into an anxiety-induced spiral. The prospect of having to micromanage screen time (and the overstimulated meltdowns that follow), plus trying to protect them on social media and against all the other horrors lurking online, is enough to make me want to swear off screens altogether. But I'm also a realist and know I can't fend off screens forever. In fact, their peak device years are just ahead. So when that time comes, I want to be prepared with all the tools. Fortunately, Apple already has a surprising number (at least to me) of guardrails and parental controls in place, with features like child accounts, screen time settings, and communication limits that help parents create safer digital environments. And there's more on the way. Apple's latest tools, rolling out to the iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 respectively, help parents set age-appropriate content filters, monitor app use, limit communication, and even blur explicit images before they appear on-screen. Here's how to find them, set them up and feel more confident handing over that screen to your kids -- no matter what age they are. Setting up a child account: The key to unlocking parental controls The first step to unlocking parental controls is setting up a child account from either your own iPad/iPhone or directly in your child's. Josh Miller/CNET Setting up a child account is the key that unlocks all these great parental control features so if you haven't already, make sure you do this first. Apple lets you create a dedicated child account for an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, giving parents full control over settings remotely through their own device. If it's a shared iPhone or iPad, you'll need to choose between setting it up as an adult or child account -- unlike an Apple TV, there's no multi-user option. Starting in September, iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 will also let you convert an existing device into a child account without needing to reset it -- meaning you can keep whatever content that you already have on your Apple device. Step-by-step: Creating a child account from your own iPhone or iPad. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET There are three ways to set up a child account on a new device: The first (and simplest) is using your own device. As soon as you bring the two devices close together, setup instructions should automatically appear on screen using Quick Start. If you're not using Quick Start, you can still set it up directly on the new device. Just choose Set Up Without Another Device and follow the on-screen instructions. If you're setting up a device for a child age 12 or younger, it must be linked to your adult account. You can also create a child account in advance, even without the child's device nearby. Go to Settings > [your name] > Family, then tap the Add User icon in the top right corner. Select Create Child Account and follow the prompts. Screen Time: the command center for parental controls Parents can remotely manage everything from screen time limits to content restrictions and even who their child can communicate with on their Apple devices. When you create a child account, you'll be asked to select an age range: 12 or younger or 13–17. This automatically sets baseline filters for content and services but you can fine-tune things even more through the Screen Time settings on your own device. From here, you can manage what your child watches, how long they use their device and who they can communicate with (among many others). To access Screen Time controls, go to Settings > Family, tap on your child's name and select Screen Time. Screen Time settings on your child's account act as your personal control center for setting limits and guardrails to create a safer digital environment. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Once you're in, here's everything you can take charge of: Downtime: Schedule breaks from screen time. You can schedule specific times and days when your kid won't have access to certain apps (determine which ones in the Always Allowed section) or choose to block the devices entirely. They'll get a five minute heads up when downtime is coming. Always Allowed: Choose which apps and contacts your child can access and at what time. Screen Distance: Alerts your child when they're holding the device too close to their face to help protect their still maturing eyesight. Communication Limits: Sets detailed rules about who your child can contact and when. For example, you can allow calls from parents or emergency contacts during Downtime , even when everything else is blocked. Communication Safety: Detects nudity in photos before they're sent or received and alerts your child, offering a moment to pause and consider whether they want to view. This one's a no brainer and one you'll want to keep on at all times. It also suggests age-appropriate resources to inform the child without Apple ever seeing the content. Content & Privacy Restrictions: Micromanage purchases and downloads. You choose whether or not your kid can download and purchase apps, and then restrict in-app purchases for the ones they have access to, or block access to the App Store altogether. You can also disable features like AirDrop under Allowed Apps & Features . App Store, Media, Web & Games: Set age-based ratings restrictions for everything from TV shows and movies to games, books and apps (anything from G to NC-17, or the equivalent). You can even block music videos or restrict private messaging in games to prevent sneaky workarounds with unapproved contacts. Managing Screen Time: Receive an alert if your child enters the Screen Time passcode so if they've guessed it, you'll know. This is part of iOS 26 and will be available this fall. In the meantime you can still change the code remotely if you suspect they've cracked the code, without needing access to your child's device. Beyond that, you'll find options to manage which subscriptions your child can access, and whether they can send and receive Apple Cash, or remove the option entirely from the menu. Location Sharing: Get a heads-up about your child's whereabouts in real time You can set up location-based alerts for you child on their Apple Watch, iPhone or iPad to know exactly when they've arrived or left school. Vanessa Hand Orellana / CNET Whether it's an iPhone, Apple Watch or even an iPad, one of the biggest benefits of giving your child their own device is being able to keep a watchful eye on their whereabouts (just make sure they know about it too). Not only can you check where they are, you can also set alerts to notify you when they've arrived at or left a specific location. You'll find the Location Sharing option under your child's profile in your Family account settings (it's the last option on the list). From here you can block your kid from changing their location settings, but to take full advantage of the feature, you'll want to jump into the Find My app. You can access location controls from your child's account, but alerts will have to be set up directly on the Find My app on your iPhone or iPad. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Once you open Find My, tap on your child's name to see their location. Next, swipe up to reveal the full menu, tap Add Notification > Notify Me. From here, you can choose to get alerts when your child arrives at or leaves a certain location like home, school or a friend's house. Tap New Location to enter an address manually or tap the screen to drop a pin on the map. You can choose whether to receive the alert just once or every time they come and go. Want to return the favor? Tap Notify [your kid's name], and follow the same steps. Your phone will automatically let your child know when you've arrived or left a designated location too. The exact settings may vary slightly depending on the age range you choose but the core controls remain the same. With iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, Apple is adding even more granular parental tools. The nudity filters will be expanded to FaceTime (and potentially third-party apps), you'll get alerts when your child enters a Screen Time passcode and you'll be able to revoke app permissions remotely even after your child has already started using the app. There are already enough things to worry about as a parent (especially with online risks), but hopefully, these features will help take at least one worry off your plate. Just remember that even the best tech tools aren't a substitute for in-person guidance from a parent or caregiver. When introducing screens to kids, make sure you're having age appropriate conversations about online safety and helping them build healthy screen time habits of their own.

The Browser Company launches its AI-first browser, Dia, in beta
Traditional web tools are facing an existential crisis as AI products and tools increasingly eat up attention — and therefore market share and money — from a wide swathe of products that people have used for years to interact with the internet. At least, that's what The Browser Company seems to think is happening. The company last year decided to stop developing its popular web browser Arc, acknowledging that while Arc was popular among enthusiasts, it never hit scale as it presented too steep a learning curve to reach mass adoption. The startup has since been heads-down on developing a browser that bakes in AI at the heart of the browser. That browser, called Dia, is now available for use in beta, though you'll need an invite to try it out. The Browser Company's CEO Josh Miller has of late acknowledged how people have been using AI tools for all sorts of tasks, and Dia is a reflection of that. By giving users an AI interface within the browser itself, where a majority of work is done these days, the company is hoping to slide into the user flow and give people an easy way to use AI, cutting out the need to visit the sites for tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. Up front, Dia presents a straightforward interface. The browser is based on Chromium, the open-source browser project backed by Google, so it has a familiar look and feel. The marquee feature here is the AI smarts, of course. Besides letting you type in website names and search terms, Dia's URL bar acts as the interface for its in-built AI chatbot. The bot can search the web for you, summarize files that you upload, and can automatically switch between chat and search functions. Users can also ask questions about all the tabs they have open, and the bot can even write up a draft based on the contents of those tabs. To set your preferences, all you have to do is talk to the chatbot to customize its tone of voice, style of writing, and settings for coding. Via an opt-in feature called History, you can allow the browser to use seven days of your browsing history as context to answer queries. Another feature called Skills lets you build small snippets of code that act as shortcuts to various settings. For example, you can ask the browser to build a layout for reading, and it'll code something up for you — think Siri shortcuts, but for your browser. Now, we have to note that chatbots in browsers are not a new feature at all. Several browser companies have integrated AI tools into their interfaces — for example, Opera Neon lets users use an AI agent to build mini-applications or complete tasks on their behalf, and Google is also adding AI-powered features to Chrome. The Browser Company says all existing Arc members will get access to Dia immediately, and existing Dia users will be able to send invites to other users.

The Browser Company launches AI-first browser Dia in beta
The Browser Company has released its AI-powered web browser Dia in beta, marking a dramatic shift from traditional browsing toward artificial intelligence integration . The new browser positions AI as its core feature, allowing users to interact with an intelligent assistant directly through the address bar without visiting separate AI platforms like ChatGPT or Claude. Dia's standout capability lies in its seamless integration of AI functionality into everyday browsing tasks. Users can query information across all open tabs, generate drafts based on tab content, and receive web summaries through a built-in chatbot. The browser's address bar serves triple duty, handling website navigation, search queries, and AI interactions automatically based on user input. The launch comes after The Browser Company discontinued development of Arc browser last year, acknowledging that while Arc gained enthusiast popularity, its steep learning curve prevented mass adoption. CEO Josh Miller recognized that users increasingly rely on AI tools for various tasks, prompting the company to reimagine browsing entirely around artificial intelligence. Built on Google's open-source Chromium project, Dia maintains familiar browser functionality while adding advanced AI features. The "History" feature allows the AI to reference seven days of browsing data for contextual responses, while "Skills" enables users to create code snippets for customized shortcuts and layouts. Although AI integration in browsers isn't entirely new, Opera and Google Chrome offer similar features, Dia distinguishes itself by making artificial intelligence the central experience rather than an add-on feature. Current Arc users receive immediate access to Dia beta, with invitation privileges for other users. Interested users can join the waiting list through The Browser Company's website as the company prepares for broader public release. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

The Browser Company launches AI web browser ‘Dia' in invite-only beta
Dia, a new AI web browser developed by The Browsing Company, was launched in beta on Wednesday, June 11. The browser provides users with an in-built AI interface. It is currently available for use by invite only. 'Dia gets more personalized with every tab you open. This is 100x more context than ChatGPT, automatically. And we believe it changes what's possible with AI,' Josh Miller, the CEO of The Browsing Company, said in a post on X. With Dia, the company is looking to enable easier access to AI tools without visiting sites like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. Existing Arc members will also be able to access Dia. Current Dia users will further be able to send invites to other users, the company said. For years, web browsers have been the main way in which people access and use the internet. However, the rise of AI has posed an existential threat to traditional web browsers, prompting companies to race toward integrating AI directly into the browsing experience. Dia is a browser that is built on top of Chromium, the open source browser project led by Google. The browser interface looks familiar with a URL bar for users to type in their search queries. However, this URL bar can also serve as the interface to prompt an in-built AI chatbot. This chatbot can carry out searches on the web and summarise uploaded files. It is also capable of automatically switching between chat and search modes, according to a report by TechCrunch. In addition, Dia appears to have screen awareness as users can ask questions about the tabs that they have open. The AI chatbot can also generate a document with text based on the content from those tabs. Dia becomes more personalised with more use, as per the company. 'Every time you open a new tab, Dia's memory automatically takes notes for you […] These notes are encrypted & stored locally. We don't take notes on sensitive pages like banking,' Miller said. It also has an opt-in feature called History where users can choose to give the browser access to seven days of their browsing history in order to receive more personalised answers to their search queries. Another feature on Dia called Skills provides short strings of AI-generated code that can serve as shortcuts for various settings. Last year, The Browser Company launched a web browser called Arc. While it gained popularity among a select group of users, the firm could not scale the browser effectively with its complicated interface acting as a barrier for mass adoption. Since then, the company has reportedly been working on developing a browser with AI at the heart of it. Other companies have also sought to integrate AI features into their web browsers. For instance, Google recently announced that it is bringing Gemini to Chrome users in the US. This is in addition to AI Mode and AI Overviews in Google Search. Opera Neon, on the other hand, has started giving users access to AI agents capable of autonomously building mini-applications and carrying out other minor tasks on their behalf.
