Twitter has started  rolling out a new Tip Jar feature  on its Android and iOS apps, which ( as rumored ) will allow users to send money directly to their favorite accounts. To use the tip jar, simply tap on the freshly added dollar bill icon next to someone’s username when viewing their profile on one of Twitter’s mobile apps. Users will be able to toggle the tip jar feature, too (for those individuals or organizations that don’t want people just sending them cash out of the blue). Android users will also be able to send money in Twitter’s Clubhouse-like Spaces. Tip Jar supports a variety of payment options and links: Bandcamp, Cash App, Patreon, Paypal, and Venmo. Twitter is using those services’ external payment processors for transactions; it doesn’t take a cut. All English language Twitter users can send tips starting today, but only a select group (including “creators, journalists, experts, and nonprofits”) can turn on the feature to accept money for now. show your ...

Twitter is rolling out a new update that essentially displays larger images on the app for a better viewing experience. Until now, both Twitter for Android and iOS as well as the web client auto-cropped images, and the AI displayed the subject based on face-points and machine learning. With the latest development, at least single uploads will be displayed in full size though the exact functioning remains unclear when users post more than one image. The new feature is rolling out worldwide; however, the process appears to gradual. Twitter app users including those in India must ensure they are using the latest version to enjoy the feature. Twitter shared the development in a tweet earlier today. “Introducing bigger and better images on iOS and Android, now available to everyone," the micro-blogging platform said. Meanwhile, Twitter has started rolling out Spaces in India that brings audio-based chatroom within the app. The Twitter Spaces aims to take on Clubhouse, the iOS app (so...

     Twitter announced in a blog post on Monday that it is opening its Spaces feature to all users with at least 600 followers. Spaces is an audio-only voice chat feature that lets a host stream voice chats with other Twitter users. Audience members can either listen in or become part of the conversation . Twitter announces new features coming to Spaces. The most significant of which is “Ticketed Spaces” which lets Space hosts monetize their Spaces for a monetary fee. A limited group of users will be able to test Ticketed Spaces “in the coming months”. You’ll also be able to eventually set reminders for, and schedule time slots for future Spaces. Co-hosted Spaces, better live captioning, and better access to Spaces via a profile icon on a Twitter feed are all coming to Spaces in the future. The Spaces feature came about thanks to the overwhelming popularity that arose from Clubhouse, a startup app based on the same premise: hosting public voice chats with other users and ...

     Twitter Inc said on Monday it will introduce a new feature to let users charge admission to their live audio chat rooms in its "Spaces" feature, as the social media company seeks to court more content creators. Until now, only some users who were part of Twitter's pilot testing were able to host their own Space. Starting on Monday, any user with at least 600 followers can be a host, the company added. Twitter introduced Spaces last year to compete with viral app Clubhouse, which jump-started the audio chat trend and attracted celebrities and entrepreneurs, but remains limited as an invite-only app. Over the coming months, Twitter said a limited group of users will be able to sell tickets to access their Spaces conversations, and will determine their own pricing and how many tickets to make available. Hosts will keep the majority of the revenue, while Twitter will earn a "small amount," the company added. . The move is part of Twitter's effort to be a bi...

     Twitter Inc. will let hosts of audio shows on its network charge listeners a fee to tune in, a first step toward monetizing its new Spaces feature. The company also said Monday that Spaces is now available to users of the Twitter app on Android devices, representing a vast expansion of the potential audience for the service. Even Clubhouse, the startup that inspired Twitter Spaces, has yet to widely release an Android app. Twitter Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey has made live audio chatrooms a key product focus in recent months. Dorsey has said he believes audio communication is an important part of Twitter’s future, and the company tried unsuccessfully to buy Clubhouse for about $4 billion, Bloomberg News reported a month ago. Spaces was a rapid response to Clubhouse. It was in beta testing for months. Now any Twitter user can listen to an audio discussion on Spaces through the iPhone or Android app, and users with more than 600 followers can host. The ability t...

Representatives from Google, Facebook, and Twitter on Friday appeared before an Australian security committee as a united front, spruiking the idea that they're all working together to thwart nefarious activity, such as violent extremist material, from proliferating their respective platforms. The trio told the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security as part of its inquiry into extremist movements and radicalism in Australia that the effort is a joint one and that the best way forward was to not actually legislate a ban of all mentions of content deemed inappropriate. "We all know combating terrorism and extremism is a continuous challenge. And unless we can completely eliminate hate and intolerance from society, there's going to be hate and intolerance online," Facebook Australia's head of policy Josh Machin said. "It's also a shared challenge between governments, industry experts, academia, civil society, and the media." As...

MOSCOW : Russian state communications regulator Roskomnadzor said on Friday that U.S. social network Twitter was complying with its demand to remove content banned in Russia, but that it was still taking too long to do so. It said Twitter had removed 60% of such content since Moscow slowed the speed of its service in March to press its demand, but that more than 1,000 illegal materials remained accessible, down from more than 3,000 earlier this year. Russia this month extended the punitive slowdown until May 15, while acknowledging that the U.S. social media company had accelerated the deletion of content. Roskomnadzor said it had identified more than 900 new cases of banned content since the slowdown began on March 10. It said that on average Twitter was removing newly detected illegal content within 81 hours of receiving a request. That is still much longer than the 24 hours demanded in law. Roskomnadzor says it wants Twitter to delete content that contains child pornograph...
