TweetDeck access requires users to be verified, according to Twitter

The change was made shortly after Musk announced that both verified and unverified users will only be able to view a certain amount of posts each day "to address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation."



TweetDeck will soon require users to be verified on Twitter, the social media platform announced in a post on Monday.


The corporation stated that the adjustment will become effective in 30 days.


In a tweet describing an updated TweetDeck with additional capabilities, Twitter made the news. It was not known if Twitter will charge customers for both the new and old TweetDeck versions. Requests for comment from Twitter did not immediately receive a response.

A financial boost for Twitter, which has struggled to maintain advertising income under the control of billionaire Elon Musk, might result from charging for TweetDeck, which was previously free and is extensively used by companies and news organisations to efficiently monitor content.


The change was made shortly after Musk announced that both verified and unverified users will only be able to view a certain amount of posts each day "to address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation."


His statement drew a ferocious outcry from Twitter users, and advertising experts said it would hurt the new CEO Linda Yaccarino, who took over the position last month.

Twitter integrates images on iOS

On the iOS version of the app, Twitter is gradually introducing a new feature that enables you to view videos while using other apps.





Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, recently unveiled a "reading limit" policy intended to restrict how many tweets a user may read each day. Users are debating the recently implemented daily restriction, but it appears that picture-in-picture mode support for iOS is discreetly being rolled out by Twitter engineers.


According to a video posted by iSoftware Updates on Twitter, when a video is playing in an app and the user swipes up to return to the home screen, the video continues to play, just like it does in applications like YouTube and WhatsApp.


This enables Twitter users to view videos while using other programmes. The functionality appears to be coming out gradually on Twitter, so it could take some time before it appears on your device.

Domino's elevates pizza delivery with their air delivery service.

By sending a pilot in a jet pack to transport hot items, Domino's has improved the pizza delivery process. The company collaborated with Gravity Industries to showcase their first pizza delivery worker in a jet suit at the Glastonbury festival.




From the Dominos restaurant in Glastonbury, which will host Elton John at the music festival, the first delivery system flight was made. People who attended the event and purchased Domino's pizza were surprised and expressed a desire to see more jet-suit-clad pilots delivering pizza to homes.


On social media, a video of a man soaring over Glastonbury while sporting a helmet, a customised jetpack, and a Domino's delivery outfit appeared. The man handed the arm attachments powered by jet engines and left after delivering the pizzas.


Pizza will be served in its customary, hot, sizzling freshness thanks to a garment made with Gravity Industries costing hundreds of thousands of pounds.


The project's director saw that it was challenging to bring pizza to the festival site because of traffic, so they started their experiment of quick delivery to feed the hungry campers and advance the programme.

WhatsApp proposes a quicker method for transferring conversations between devices

 The new approach does not use Google Drive backup and restore anymore.



A new feature that lets you transport your WhatsApp conversations across devices without storing them in the cloud has been introduced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.


You may now scan a QR code on one phone to start a straight transfer to another running the same OS as opposed to backing up and restoring your conversations via Google Drive. In essence, this implies that users will be able to transfer chats with this upgrade without the data ever leaving the two smartphones – or even leaving WhatsApp.


According to Meta, this approach is not only faster when it comes to the transfer of massive media but also more private than cloud services. The new technique ensures that nothing is lost in the move by covering both conversations and media history. Data is completely encrypted throughout the procedure.


How to utilise the new direct conversation transfer feature in WhatsApp


1. Before anything else, ensure sure both of your devices are present, linked to Wi-Fi, and location-enabled.

2. Next, scan the QR code on your previous phone by going to Settings > Chats > Chat transfer.

3. The transfer will start immediately.
