Meta has announced a bunch of changes for end-to-end encrypted communication on its Messenger platforms. Enhancements include notifications for screenshots of disappearing messages, GIFs, and more.

Those on Twitter might notice that the company has started rolling out a new feature for replies that does not require a dedicated modal window. Icons for recent searches have been made bigger too.

A Twitter representative has said that the company is testing the insertion of ads in replies to tweets. It's possible that this experience will be opt-in and creators will receive an ad revenue cut.

Twitter has announced it will now no longer count username @mentions in replies towards the 140-character limit. The feature is currently rolling out to the website and the iOS and Android apps.
