This week on TechTacToe, we unpack a spicy lineup of global and African tech updates.

Instagram wants everyone back in the office in 2026. OpenAI might be preparing to show ads inside ChatGPT. Apple is sending its earliest documents to auction and notifying the EU that Apple Maps and Apple Ads qualify as gatekeepers under the DMA. Spotify Wrapped also gets accolades.

Closer to Africa, Verve eyes a contactless future after issuing one hundred million cards, the Central Bank of Nigeria mandates bank fraud refunds within sixteen working days, and DSTV could lose channels like CNN and Cartoon Network if a stalled deal drags on.

Tune in as we break the stories down, debate the implications, and ask what it all means for tech, money, and everyday users.
