Twitter Rolling Out New Features for Twitter Spaces include Host Access to Analytics
This week, Twitter is releasing a number of new capabilities for its live audio Spaces platform. On iOS and Android, the social media giant is offering presenters and co-hosts access to analytics about their Spaces. For example, hosts and co-hosts may now see how many total live listeners tuned in, how many times the broadcast was replayed, and how many individuals spoke throughout the Space.
In March, the new analytics function was made accessible to a small group of hosts as a test, but it is now available to all hosts and co-hosts on the platform. Hosts will be able to better plan their audio content and know how many people they’re reaching via statistics.

Twitter is also experimenting with a feature that tweet out a Space card when hosts start a Space. The new feature, according to Twitter, will make it easier for users to interact with and share Spaces. The new feature, which is now available on both iOS and Android, should make it easier for users to see and participate in conversations, according to the company. With this new functionality, hosts won’t have to manually link to their Spaces in a tweet to promote them when they first create one.

Users will also be able to learn more about the Spaces that appear at the top of their timeline. Currently, the purple card at the top of your timeline does not provide much information on a particular Space. Some Android users will see more information on the Space bar starting today, including who’s hosting, what topics are involved, who’s shared a tweet, and more.

Users will be able to follow Spaces hosts more easily as well. When a Space is finished, users will be able to see a list of the co-hosts and speakers and choose to follow them. The new feature is currently available on both iOS and Android.

Recently, pre-orders for the Apple Vision Pro were started. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst has reported sales of around 160,000 to 180,000 units of the Vision Pro. In context to the sales of Apple Vision Pro, Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters revealed in an interview that there is no need for the Netflix app in Apple’s VR headset.
In that interview, Peters also defined that the number of subscribers can’t justify the attempts to port an app for a platform. In the future, there may be a Netflix app for Apple’s VR headset, but currently, Netflix is adopting a wait-and-see approach. For now, YouTube and Spotify have no plans for dedicated apps.
As we also mentioned in the recent post of the Apple Vision Pro, you can use the apps via the browser in the Vision Pro. Apple’s own Apple TV+ streaming services are available on the Apple Vision Pro, which features “Apple Immersive Video” with Spatial Audio and 180° 3D footage in 8K resolution.
Similarly, Netflix has also a VR app which was launched in back 2015, that also offers VR Content and includes a 360° video for the Stranger Things Series, but for now, it’s not available in Apple Vision Pro. Netflix has a ton of VR movies that you can also check out.

WhatsApp has undergone notable changes, introducing new colors and status updates for both its website and app. Whatsapp is currently in the process of rolling out a fresh update through the TestFlight beta program, named version 24.1.10.76. Within the app’s settings, the version is identified as 2.24.1.76, while the TestFlight build stands at 24.1.10(555067882).
WhatsApp beta for Android, in its 2.24.2.11 version, is rolling out a significant feature. Users can now create and share polls within their channels, fostering interactive engagement by collecting feedback, opinions, and preferences directly from their followers. The latest WhatsApp beta test for iOS, marked as version 24.1.10.76, is also geared up to incorporate this polling feature.
WhatsApp ensures that the choices made by channel followers during voting remain secure and anonymous. Currently available to beta testers, the feature to share polls in channels can be accessed by installing the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS and other Android phones via the TestFlight app. It will be available to everyone in the coming days.
While polls on various platforms often disappear within 24 hours, it remains to be seen whether WhatsApp will adopt a similar approach or introduce its own unique twist.
