Twitter Drops User Names from Counting Against 140 Character Limit

March 30, 2017 by RSS Feed

Twitter has been quietly changing how replies work for some users over the past few days, but now it’s official for everyone: user names no longer count towards the 140 character limit. The change means you tweets don’t have to be as short when several people are included in your replies.

Previously, including a user name in a tweet counted against your 140 character limit, so a post like “@davehamilton You should check out Twitter’s reply changes” was counted as 58 characters. Now that same tweet counts as 44, assuming you also remove the space after Dave’s Twitter handle.

Twitter product manager Sasank Reddy said, “It’s now easier to follow a conversation, so you can focus on what a discussion is about, and who is having it. Also, with all 140 characters for your replies, you have more room to participate in group conversations.”

The change is automatic, so you don’t need to worry about remembering to install updates or change any account settings.

With that off the to-do list maybe Twitter’s engineers can start working on letting us edit posts.

Apple’s free app of the week: Blyss

March 30, 2017 by RSS Feed

Apple on Thursday updated its App of the Week promotion with the game Blyss. For the next 7 days you’ll be able to pick up the popular puzzler for free on both iPhone and iPad—saving you a solid buck.

Blyss is essentially an endless puzzle adventure that features calming, serene graphics and a transcendent soundtrack. Features include unlimited, unique puzzles, 3 game modes, and a player leaderboard.

From the App Store Editors’ Notes:

Some dots take one swipe, some take two. But one thing’s for certain: if you want to clear every puzzle, you have to think through your moves. Failure’s inevitable in the high-stakes Endless mode—but trust us—you won’t mind restarting.

And here’s a video of the game in action:

Blyss is available for free in the App Store.

iOS 10.3: Using “Find My AirPods”

March 30, 2017 by RSS Feed

OK, I admit it. My AirPods are pretty much my favorite thing ever! Well, after my iPhone…and my Watch…

Well, anyway. I like ’em a lot, is what I’m saying, so I’m pretty jazzed about iOS 10.3’s inclusion of the new “Find My AirPods” feature. Not that I’d ever lose mine, oh no. They’d have to be out of my ears occasionally for that to ever happen.

So here’s how you’ll use this fine new ability. First, either open the Find My iPhone app if you’ve already got it installed, or download it from the App Store if you haven’t.

When the app opens, tap on your AirPods from the list of devices…

…and you should see them appear on a new map screen.

See that “Actions” button at the bottom? If you tap that, you can play a sound on your AirPods to find them if you’ve lost one or both.

While the sound is playing, you could mute either AirPod if you’ve just lost the left one or the right one. The tone that plays will progressively get louder, so unlike the “Find My iPhone” sound, for example, it won’t just leap straight to “dogs two towns over are howling now” levels of loud.

Snarkiness aside, there are a couple of other things to note here. It doesn’t look like the AirPods can be located unless they’re connected to a paired device, so sadly that means that you can’t find them if you lost them inside their cool case. Bummer. Also, you could use iCloud.com to locate them now, too, if you want to see them on a map or play a sound from your computer instead of your iOS device.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my neighbors for this tip. That was a lot of high-pitched sound-playing during my testing, and I’m so sorry. But hey! I always listen to music through my AirPods instead of through a speaker, so that’s something for you to be grateful for, right?

The new Search app for iOS app includes Gboard, Google’s third-party keyboard

March 30, 2017 by RSS Feed

the new google search app with gboard makes it easier to find emoji, gifs, and more.

android may be google’s operating system, but that doesn’t mean the search giant’s ignoring its second-largest market: apple’s ios. this week, google rolled out a string of updates to one of its most popular iphone products: search.

starting this week, the google search app for ios now includes google’s third-party gboard as part of its download — you will see the option to enable gboard in the google app’s settings.

more: google updates iphone search app with a smarter google now and customized alerts

gboard, google’s third-party keyboard for ios, already boasts an impressive number of features. the headlining feature is a built-in google search bar that lets you send weather forecasts, videos, images, news, restaurant recommendations, emojis, gifs, and anything else google’s servers manage to find. gboard’s support for glide typing lets you compose replies by swiping a finger across the keyboard (a faster alternative to tapping out the letters individually). and voice transcription’s on board, too.

the new search app for ios also boasts “trending on google,” a widget that features breaking news and other topics based on trending searches across google. tapping on an item launches the google app, so you can read more.

apple’s 3d touch features heavily in the new update. a 3d touch on the search app’s icon surfaces up options to start a voice, image, or incognito search, and a tap on the ‘g’ icon at the bottom of the screen quickly starts a new search. a 3d touch on the search results themselves, meanwhile, shows a preview of the content in question.

more: the new and improved google app makes it easier to keep track of recommendations, reminders, and interests

the new widget’s easy to add. tapping on the edit button from the button of the notification center brings it up, as does a 3d touch.

increasingly, google’s search app is becoming a one-stop shop for the search giant’s services.

two years ago, google rolled out an update that added conversational voice. basically, it put voice questions in context — asking, “what’s the weather like?” and immediately following up with, “how about this weekend?” will show results tailored to the second query.

last year, google rolled out a streamlined search app that broke results into two categories: current topics and upcoming events. news, sports, weather, and other topics populated the former and info about calendar appointments and important emails took up the latter.
