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.

Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) has warned its consumers to be wary when making online transactions as scammers are now utilising new and sophisticated scam tactics to trick them. These include creating fake apps, phishing sites and creating scam ads on social media.

Twitter is reportedly adding a new feature into its mobile app that allows users to get notifications when there are new tweets that match a particular search term. Called ‘Search Subscribe’, the new feature was found inside the latest version of Twitter Alpha.

At the beginning of the month, it was reported that Twitter had rolled out a feature called Twitter Circle for a small number of users for testing. If you're not sure what it is for, it's basically something similar to Close Friends on Instagram by letting you post tweets to a small group of people rather than everyone. Until now, the company is giving it a wide rollout, so you might get to see the feature on the app sooner or later.

Although the Twitter board has decided to sell the social media platform to Elon Musk, it doesn't mean that the ownership will immediately get transferred. Selling such a large company should go through a long process. Until today, the latest information has come stating that deal is now on hold when Musk waits for Twitter to give an accurate number of the existing fake or spam accounts.

Today, Twitter just announced a new feature called Twitter Circle. If you ever feel like tweeting something but not to everyone online, then this feature might be the one for you and here's how it works.

If you recall, reports confirmed that Elon Musk successfully acquired Twitter earlier this week. The Tesla founder now has full control of the platform and company, allowing him to dictate policy and direction. Unfortunately, some of those changes might be inconvenient for us.

Social media is still a place that emphasizes free speech, so it might lead to some users exploiting that by posting offensive things on these platforms. With that said, our government might be looking for a way to stop this from happening by studying the need to tighten existing laws.

After nearly a month, Elon Musk has finally acquired Twitter at a staggering $43.3 billion ($54.20 per share). With great support from Morgan Stanley, an American investment bank (and his own funds), this acquisition grants him total control of Twitter and the deal is currently in regulatory approval. 

Not just you, we're also confused regarding the news of Elon Musk buying Twitter. A previous report claimed that the Twitter board was totally against the deal. However, the table might have just turned with this new information arrived by saying that the social media company is ready to take what Musk offers.
