Based on a statement by techradar.com, it seems that Facebook might also be working on a feature that’s similar to Clubhouse called Facebook Fireside which will feature an invite-only voice and video functionality. While not much is known in regards to when it will be globally available, it does give us a better idea on what to expect from Facebook in the coming months.

Ah, former US President Trump. While he did make a lot of people angry over the past four years, some of his tweets (probably handled by his marketing team) were pretty entertaining. If you recall, he got banned and removed from Twitter during the last US elections and...you will never ever see him again.

Based on a statement by techradar.com, it seems that Twitter has recently introduced a feature called Spaces, which comes with features similar to that of Clubhouse. Unfortunately, the feature is currently available only to selected users in India and there’s no news on when it will be coming to Malaysia.

Today, Vice President of Twitter Keith Coleman has announced a new feature for the social platform called Birdwatch. As the title suggests, it's a new way for the Twitter community to report and prevent misinformation news spread around online. Here's how it works on Twitter.

If you thought it was weird that you got logged out from your Facebook page, you weren't the only one. Just last Saturday, millions of Facebook users around the world were automatically logged out for some reason. Of course, this caused some confusion and even anxiety about the possibility of being hacked.

If you watch YouTube regularly, you may have noticed YouTubers putting hashtags in the YouTube video description. Why do they bother putting hashtags? And what was the point? Well, like Twitter and Instagram, the hashtags help you to find certain topics and Google just rolled out the feature.

Today, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has just issued a statement that they did not warn against the usage of the #SiBodohKauDengarSini (translation - listen here, you idiot). In case you missed it, there is an on-going trend in Twitter with the hashtag and it's now an act of criticism against the Malaysia Government handling the pandemic. Before we get into the details, here's what MCMC said.

Following the hilarious tweeting comments on the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia Malaysia (MCMC)'s Twitter page just some time ago, the group has just announced that they have set up a committee for the Investigation of Improper Trial Case in 2014 on their Twitter account. The committee is chaired by Deputy Secretary-General (Telecommunication Infrastructure and Digital Economy), Tan Chuan Ou and four members.

Based on a statement by androidpolice, it seems that Twitter has finally allowed us to upload and view 4K resolution pictures on Android smartphone with Twitter beta v8.76 and above. If you’re keen on viewing a picture in 4K resolution, all you need to do is tap on the 3-dot menu and tap on the “Load 4K” option.

Not content with being an app just for posting short messages, Twitter has been gradually been adding more features. The platform added a Stories-like feature back in November 2020, but now it's in the midst of testing something interesting - audio chat rooms.
