Twitter Adds Tailored Trends to iPhone, Android App

Twitter updated its app for iPhone and Android Wednesday, adding the ability to view Trends from around the world or focus on those in your backyard.

Located in the Discover tab, the feature shows you what's trending on Twitter as whole. You can also drill down to tailored trends within the app. They're based on your location as well as who you follow on Twitter. The idea is that you’ll see trends specifically catered to your own personal interests.

With the update, replies to retweeted tweets within the app now include not only the person who originally tweeted the message, but the retweeter as well.

The new versions of the apps also added the ability to invite friends to join Twitter from within the app, improved playback of Vine videos, and a few other bug fixes and improvements.

You can download the updated version of Twitter for Android and iOS now from their respective app stores.

YouTube Makes Video Creating Easier With iOS App

YouTube Capture is a new iOS app that allows users to film videos and then instantly share them on the web and various social media platforms.

The app will make it simpler for users to upload videos from their iPhone onto the video sharing website. Features of the app include the ability to edit videos, colour correction and stabilisation.
Free background music is also available from YouTube to add to videos as well as the ability to write a caption. Users are also reminded to rotate their phone to avoid vertical videos.
There is currently no Android version of the YouTube Capture app and the company has not yet said when one will become available.

The current iOS app for YouTube is for viewing purposes only but with an iPhone or iPad, users can already film videos and upload them onto the video sharing website.
The introduction of the new app comes after Apple had removed YouTube from being a standard app on iOS devices. The social platform then released an updated version of the app which featured a better selection of videos.






The app is set to be unveiled Monday afternoon.
