Apple’s new ‘Shot on iPhone’ ad honors moms

A week ahead of Mother’s Day, Apple’s new “Shot on iPhone” ad pays tribute to one of the most important people in your life, your mom. It shows a collection of images and videos of mothers interacting with their children. Underneath each photo or clip is the name of the amateur iPhone user who captured the moment.

You can also now add a photo of your mom to the Mother’s Day film for a personal touch.

Twitter shuts down Magic Recs account

Other lets you send canned messages to one person

If you regularly message someone with updates like you’re heading home or stuck in traffic, the Other app for iOS will make it easier for you. It’s a bit like a launcher for messaging but you just do it for another person (perhaps your spouse). It allows you to create canned messages that you can send through the iPhones Messages app. If you use one of the newer iPhones, you can even have a 3D Touch shortcut for this on your home screen. Other also comes with a share extension, letting you send URLs to this person with just a few taps.

Twitter shuts down Magic Recs account

The Magic Recs account on Twitter is seen as a useful tool for finding out what’s the hottest accounts at the moment on Twitter—in case you’d want to follow them. But Twitter has shut down the account saying this feature is integrated into push notifications so there isn’t a need for the account to send direct message recommendations to its users. If you want to get those recommendations, you’ll only be able to on mobile. Head to settings, notifications, and switch on the Recommendations option. Although it seems that’s activated by default.
