According to instagram, most users will miss an average of 70% of their feeds. As users tend to follow more instagram accounts by the day, it can get really cluttered. As a result, it is harder to keep up with posts that are more relevant to you.

To tackle this better, Instagram in their official blog had announced that a new feed optimisation is on the way and you can see this in the coming months.

Starting July next month, Twitter will be removing its 140 character limit for its Direct Messaging feature. This allows for longer private messages, making it a more viable as an instant messaging channel. In the meantime, they are making some changes to its API where developers and 3rd party clients would need to make some adjustments to accommodate to the latest changes.

This makes it easier to report problems to brand customer support on Twitter especially to airlines and telcos. With the current 140 character limit, usually one would need to split their messages into several DMs to get the full message across. Take note that this only affects DMs and the normal tweets will still retain its character limit.

Twitter has finally announced camera filters for its camera which adds “Instagram” style photos and basic editing options. This comes after Instagram’s photo integration on Twitter was disabled, preventing users from seeing pics directly. However it is still viewable by clicking the link.

There are 8 filters to choose from which you can preview individually or all 8 of them in a single grid. You’ll get crop and pinch to zoom editing as well to keep your main subject into focus. If you can’t decide, there’s the auto enhance wand which does the job automatically. The new version is now available for both Android and iOS devices.
