The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has announced that not all car parks under its management are free of charge after office hours. This clarification was in response to a recent viral video complaining about parking touts in Bukit Bintang which allegedly scratched her car.

Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter, he has been aiming to turn the platform into a "super app". This concept refers to an app that does everything from messaging, social media, payments, and more. Now, it also seems that he wants it to be a video app.

Twitter has decided that its paying customers should be rewarded with more. Elon Musk has been adding increasingly more features to the platform's Twitter Blue subscription plan, and the latest one is more than a bit head-scratch inducing.

In Twitter's blog, the company just announced that the videos shared on the platform will be getting two new updates. The videos will now be more immersive, expanding themselves to take advantage of the screen fully. On top of that, video discovery will also be launched.

If you're an Instagram content creator, here's some good news. In case you haven't heard, Instagram just got an upgrade to Stories. Previously, you could only upload clips of up to 15 seconds. But with the new update, creators can now upload videos 4 times the length.

Not long ago, news came saying that Instagram is working on a BeReal clone. However, it seems like TikTok has moved faster by launching its own. TikTok Now is the platform's new feature to let users post a photo or a 10-second video when prompted anywhere anytime.

Many people love to watch videos online, and short-form video is probably the most popular format these days. Besides the highly popular TikTok, YouTube Shorts has also gained a substantial userbase of about 1.5 billion users. As such, it makes sense to add a new feature to help make Shorts.

Twitter today announced that a new button has been added on its Android and iOS app to toggle closed captions (cc) for its video player. The cc toggle can be found in the top-right corner of videos on Twitter should the video itself has captions available for it.

It looks like Instagram has given up on its attempt to capture the long-form video market following the company’s move to kill off the IGTV standalone app. In an official blog post on Monday (28 February 2022), Instagram confirmed that it is discontinuing support for the IGTV app thus ending the service as a whole. RIP!

It seems that science, tech, innovation and vaccines minister Khairy Jamaluddin has made an announcement stating that citizens who are getting vaccinated are allowed to record themselves as they’re receiving the vaccine. The decision to allow recording during the vaccination process was because of a case where a citizen was injected with an empty syringe not too long ago.
