 Koo new features

While Twitter is in the process of changing its ownership, Koo is making difference in its features. The Indian microblogging software is revamping its app to reflect changes in looks and functionality. Both iOS and Android users have seen the changes. The new design is more of a user-centric approach. The platform’s UI has been improved and it is now smoother and easier to use.

Priyank Sharma, Head of Design, Koo, said, “User delight is at the core of our brand philosophy.

Following Apple, Google also adds privacy labels to Play Store

Google Play Store

Google has announced that privacy labels will be added to the Play Store, providing consumers with additional information about the data gathered by Android apps. The change comes more than a year after Apple introduced similar labels for the App Store. They also inform customers about how much data apps gather. “We heard from users and app developers that displaying the data an app collects, without additional context, is not enough,” said Google. “Users want to know for what purpose their data is being collected and whether the developer is sharing user data with third parties.”

The functionality is currently available on the Google Play Store, and developers must complete the information on their apps by July 20th at the latest. The idea, as stated by both Google and Apple, is to provide consumers with better insight into how and why applications collect data, allowing them to make more educated decisions about the services they wish to use.

 

Elon Musk shares these two ideas about Twitter

Elon Musk

After taking over Twitter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been sharing his views about the micro-blogging site. Sharing his latest ideas about Twitter, Tesla founder tweeted two ideas that he believed could improve the platform.

According to Musk, DMs should have end to end encryption like signal, so no one can spy on or hack your messages. He also believes that Twitter must be politically neutral to deserve public trust.

 

A $44 billion agreement has been inked between Twitter and Musk for the acquisition of the micro-blogging site.

Musk has been tweeting about things he would like to see on Twitter and his idea of free speech has already run into troubled waters as many apprehend that hate speech might get encouraged in the garb of free speech.

To this, he has clarified that by free speech, he meant one that matches with the law. “If people want less free speech, they will ask the government to pass laws to that effect,” he said.

In another tweet, eccentric billionaire and newfound Twitter owner Musk, known for his outlandish statements, also said that he’s “going to buy McDonald’s and fix all the ice cream machines”.

Newfound Twitter owner also said that he planned to buy Coca-Cola next “to put the cocaine back in.”

 

Before taking over Twitter, the Tesla founder tweeted a series of ideas that he believed could improve the platform, with some appearing serious — like the possibility of introducing an edit button — while others seemed wholly bizarre, such as converting Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters into a homeless shelter. Earlier, Musk was only set to join the board which he declined without citing any reason.

On April 25, Twitter announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk at approximately $44 billion. Twitter will become a privately held company after completion of the transaction.

Twitter Board of Directors have unanimously approved the transactions and is expected to close in 2022, subject to the approval of Twitter stockholders, the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Donald Trump’s Truth Social sees more download on App store, beats Twitter and TikTok

Beating the popular micro-blogging site Twitter and video-focused social networking service TikTok, Truth Social has become the number one on App Store. Truth Social is a social media platform created by Trump Media & Technology Group.

Sharing a screenshot of the top five social media apps from the App Store, Tesla CEO Elon Musk who just acquired Twitter, shared a tweet saying that Truth Social is beating Twitter & TikTok. In the screenshot shared by Musk, one can see Truth Social is top downloaded free app followed by Twitter and TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance Ltd.

Truth Social came to existence after former US President Donald Trump was de-platformed from Twitter following the Capitol Hill siege last year. Twitter had permanently suspended Trump’s account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.

Registering a rise of 150%, Trump’s Truth Social reached 75,000 download between April 18 and 25.

Since its launch in October 2021, Trump’s Truth Social has been downloaded about 1.4 million times. The app is yet to be made available in Indian market on Apple Store. However, it is available on Google Play Store for Android phones.

In another development, former US President Donald Trump said that he would not go back to Twitter despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk buying it. According to Trump, Twitter has become very boring.

Trump will continue to use his own ‘TRUTH Social’ as the only social media platform.

  • Casa: It is multi-app customer loyalty, CRM, and lifecycle marketing package.
  • EaseMyGST: EaseMyGST is a GST programme that automates the creation of E-invoices, E-way bills, and GST returns.
  • Third-party integrations are supported: Various prominent retail tech tools, marketplaces, and e-commerce suites are also pre-integrated with the suite.

BOE’s displays will make up approximately 20 to 25 per cent of the total display panels utilized in the iPhone 14 series. Apple is likely to release the iPhone 14 series later this year, with four models: iPhone 14, 14 Max, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max.

For the past three years, BOE has been attempting to get an agreement with Apple to provide OLED panels for current-generation iPhones. However, Apple’s regular testing revealed that BOE screens failed. Now it appears that BOE has improved the quality of its display panels, which is why the business was able to reach an agreement with Apple for the iPhone 14.
