Twitter flooded with hashtags, memes after an acquisition agreement with Elon Musk

Soon after an acquisition agreement between Twitter and Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk, several hashtags started trending on the micro blogging site. Musk, a high-profile Twitter user and a controversial one, has more than 83 million followers on the platform, which he has used over the years.

Musk has repeatedly stressed in recent days that his goal is to bolster free speech on the platform and work to “unlock” Twitter’s “extraordinary potential.”

#GoodbyeTwitter, #ParagAgrawal, #TwitterTakeover #ElonMusk #leaving twitter and #CEOOF Twitter are among other hashtags trending on the Twitter.

Poking fun at supposed liberals who couldn’t stomach Musk’s approach to free speech, users are tagging their posts with #GoodByeTwitter.

Twitter on April 25 announced that it has 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.

In addition to hashtags, Twitter is also bombarded with some of the funniest memes and reactions. Musk, a self-proclaimed “free-speech absolutist,” has been critical of Twitter policies. In his first tweet after the acquisition deal, Musk writes I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means. Several celebrities also reacted on deal between Twitter and Elon Musk.

 

In no time, this led to a meme fest on Twitter and some users started immediately advocating for the reinstatement of those who have been banned from the micro-blogging site, including former President Donald Trump.

Asking Musk when are you planning to run for President, a Twitter user said you understand free speech better than most—including our Congressional reps.

Replying to Elon Musk’s tweet, another user suggests him to create your own platform? It will cost you around 1 mil $ or so.. PM for more info.

While a user by name Humberto A Lopez asked Musk if he has any plans for people who spread misinformation.

Another user called Basit Bhat shared an image showing a pictorial conversation between Amazon.com Inc founder Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. Bezos can be seen asking Musk ‘heard you are buying Twitter’. In his response to Bezos, Musk says Amazon is next and has been added in the cart.

Musk himself is known for regularly blocking social media users who have criticized him or his company. Tesla CEO also used the platform to bully reporters who have written critical articles about him or his company. Some users tweeted that free speech had prevailed and the phrase “Make Twitter Great Again” began trending.

Transaction terms and financing

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.

Musk has secured $25.5 billion of fully committed debt and margin loan financing and is providing an approximately $21.0 billion equity commitment. There are no financing conditions to the closing of the transaction.

First quarter 2022 earnings results

Twitter is expected to announce its first quarter fiscal year 2022 results before market open on April 28, 2022. There will be no corresponding conference call in view of the pending transaction.

Popular global platform for verifying contacts and blocking unwanted communication Truecaller, has decided to discontinue the call recording feature from its app. The decision has been taken after Google updated its developer policy.

Earlier, Google announced to ban all third-party call recording applications. Truecaller’s response has come as a measure to avoid being banned by the Google from Play Store. Effective May 11, Google will remove all the call recording applications from Play Store.

Recently, Google announced that applications to record calls, called Accessibility API, is not designed and cannot be requested for remote call audio recording. It must be mentioned here that the use of a microphone for recording calls was removed in Android 10. A call recording warning on Dialer app was also introduced by the Google.

Option for Android users

Those who are using Android smartphone need not to be bothered as they can use call recording feature with the help of Google Dialer or the Phone app. You need to press the record button for call recording. However, as and when a user presses the record button, an announcement “this call is now being recorded” is made automatically to make both parties aware of the call recording.

Additionally, Google’s stance curbs call recordings without the consent of a user, as most third-party call recording applications do. Nevertheless, some smartphone manufacturers still provide the feature in-built, in a way that users do not require to download any app.

With the latest update, the WhatsApp Group Voice Calls can support up to 32 participants

WhatsApp has been a surprise packet since the start of the year 2022. We can see many new features targeted to improve user experience and make the in-app experience much better. Some of them have been rolled out already and some are still in the beta version. Like we already have the message reaction feature, we can now transfer large files, and we also have the multi-device login functionality. So, following the trend, WhatsApp has introduced its latest update for group voice calls. Readout what it has for the users!

WhatsApp will soon support 32 people in a group voice call

WhatsApp announced a bunch of new features and this is also one of the major ones. WhatsApp will now support 32 participants in a group voice call. It has been a substantial jump from the previous limit of 8 participants. Also, this limit only follows the voice calls as of now. However, we can expect it to come for the video calls very soon.

Whatsapp 32 participants

The rollout of the new feature is happening across Google Android as well as Apple iOS. WhatsApp has also updated its FAQ new limit. The latest FAQ section claims “Group calling allows up to 32 participants to voice call with each other using WhatsApp for free. Apple users can also make use of the new call limit.” The listing on App Store shows that the new update brings support for 32 participants.

The listing on App Store also states that “Group voice calls now support up to 32 participants, and include an updated interface with a social audio layout, speaker highlight, and waveforms.”

How it is going to work?

When you receive a group voice call, the incoming WhatsApp group voice call screen will display the members who are presently on the call, with the person who added you mentioned first. The ‘Calls’ page will display the history of group voice calls. You may view the individual participants from the call by tapping the call history. If missed calls are still active, you can join them.

WhatsApp New Features

Along with this great feature, WhatsApp had also announced a slew of other features last week. Let’s have a quick look at what it has offered to the users!

Message Reaction

The reaction feature is nothing new. If you use Facebook and are a big fan of Instagram, you must have heard of it. It is a significant update to WhatsApp as there are many messages that we don’t want to reply to directly. This comes in handy when we want to save that awkward silence of a text and avoid that unnecessary chitchat. Using the reaction feature, people can easily respond to all their messages by sending only one reaction. People may rapidly express themselves without having to send a slew of fresh texts.

Large File sharing

Another significant update that WhatsApp has brought for the users. The file-sharing limit on WhatsApp has been increased to 2 GB. WhatsApp claims to be doing this to make it easier for individuals to cooperate on projects. Before the formal launch, specifics regarding the file format will be published.

Communities

WhatsApp will soon launch Communities, an innovation to better manage groups and have more meaningful discussions, in response to user requests from around the world. A WhatsApp spokeswoman described communities as a “directory of groups,” adding that the feature will allow anybody to “create their own community with various groups yet shared links.” This was “based on feedback that people get disoriented because of the numerous groupings,” according to the spokeswoman. Anyone may start a community and invite numerous groups to participate. However, the groups will only become members of the community if their respective administrators accept the invitation. For example, you may have a single community for a single firm with many groups of users from various user groups inside that organisation.

Adam Mosseri busts common myth about hashtag on Instagram

Are you among those who have been using hashtags in your posts to get more views? Adam Mosseri, head Instagram, has recently busted this myth by saying that use of hashtags will not help you get more views on your posts.

Indeed, hashtags help to land up in a place like a hashtag page for instance, but in general, hashtags are not a way to try and get more distribution, confirms Mosseri while responding to users’ queries on Instagram.

According to Mosseri, hashtags help user to understand what a post is about. Instagram head’s response could potentially be a game changer for social media users about exactly how the platform works.

In another development, Instagram announced to add new ways to tag and improved ranking. The move is aimed to make sure that creators are successful and get all the credit they deserve.

The Meta-owned photo-sharing app has added new ways to tag and improved ranking. Instagram had added Product Tags, Enhanced Tags and Ranking for originality. According to media report, Instagram is also testing Templates, a new feature that will allow Reels creators to use the same format as other videos.

Meanwhile, Instagram is also testing new templates that make it easier to create Reels on the platform. The feature will allow copying formats used in other Reels to create your own, something similar to TikTok’s pre-made templates that lets users drop in their own content in a selected format.

According to a tweet by Instagram Comms, the app is trying out some new things to make hashtags as valuable as possible for people. A few weeks ago, Instagram rolled out Destinations which helps connect people to more information around social causes, and now, they are going to try something new.

For a small group, Instagram is testing more recent and timely content in ‘Top’ and ‘Reels’ tabs in hashtags, and removing the ‘Recent’ tab. The move is aimed to see if this helps people connect with more interesting and relevant content on hashtags, while also keeping them across what’s current.

Last month, Instagram announced testing a new feature that would make it easier for users to discover and support social causes directly through hashtags. Now, when you search for specific hashtags associated with certain social movements, users will have the option to support them through new options.

PS5 Digital Edition: All you need to know

PS5-Digital-Edition

The PS5’s February restock is here – well, if you are lucky enough to find it somewhere in stock. PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition are the two PlayStation5 versions. However, you might be wondering what makes the one different from another. Fortunately, we’ll go into how these two consoles compare, as well as what makes the PS5 Digital Edition unique.

What is PS5 Digital Edition?

Sony’s PS5 Digital Edition is a first for the company: a console without a disc drive that was accessible from the start of the device’s life cycle. While the loss of a disc drive has an obvious impact on how the Digital Edition varies from the standard edition – the inability to play physical games – the lack of a disc drive has an unintended consequence in other aspects of the system that are easy to overlook.

PS5 and PS5 Digital: What are the differences?

PlayStation 5

While the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X have some significant changes, the PS5 Standard and PS5 Digital Edition share identical specifications. You’ll receive the same speedy SSD, high-definition graphics, and more regardless of whatever PS5 console you choose. Between the two consoles, there are about three key distinctions:

Disc drive

The main and most notable distinction between the Standard PS5 and the PS5 Digital Edition is that the former includes a disc drive while the latter does not. If you collect physical movies or have a sizable physical PS4 game library, the PS5 disc version is a must-have.

The PS5’s digital version is 100 percent digital, which means it won’t work with any games that arrive on a disc. To play games on the PS5 Digital Edition, you must first download them online and then save them to your console.

Design

Of course, the disc drive (or lack thereof) affects the design of the two consoles. The PS5 disc version will have a little bulge at the bottom where the disc drive hardware is located. Because the digital version does not have a disc drive, it has a much thinner and more symmetrical form.

Price

In terms of price, the Sony PS5 is available in India for Rs 49,990. The Digital Edition, on the other hand, costs Rs 39,990. The difference between these two consoles is that the latter does not have a Blu-ray Disc drive. The tech giant has yet to reveal the shipping and availability date of the console.

PS5’s February restock

PS5

Sony India has restocked its next-generation gaming console – PS5 – which made available for pre-order again on February 22 at 12:00 PM IST through Sony authorised stores and online retailers such as Amazon, ShopatSC, and GamesTheShop. PS5 was available for pre-order for the second time this year. The first restock of the year took place on January 12, 2022.

Sony announced the PlayStation 5 in November 2020, and just a few months later, Sony India released it on February 2, 2021 in India. Since then, the PS5 has been in extremely high demand throughout the country, with restocks selling out within minutes.
