Jaril Valenciano didn’t host big parties until September when he moved into a bigger apartment in San Francisco. The 31-year-old, who works at a software startup, hosted weekly “The Last of Us” watch parties at the beginning of the year and regularly has larger get-togethers. His biggest headache was figuring out how many of the invited guests actually planned to show up. That’s why he turned to a relatively new service called Partiful, which he has used more than 30 times since September.

Carla Birnbaum banned her two daughters from downloading the TikTok app. Lots and lots of them. When her 12-year-old daughter’s iPhone wouldn’t update, she found that the device’s memory was nearly full. Friends had been sending the tween screen recordings of TikTok posts as a way to get around the Birnbaum household’s no-TikTok rule. Her iPhone’s storage was so full of recorded videos—a few hundred, Ms. Birnbaum estimates—there wasn’t enough space to update the software.
