People might see when you’re online on Twitter soon

Twitter hopes that the new feature its testing will make you want to interact or converse more on its platform. The company’s director of product management, Sara Haider, revealed threaded conversations and status indicators, which makes the app look rather similar to Facebook’s comment threads. Threaded conversations make sense to make it easier to follow conversations. But we wonder how people will feel about having their status displayed on the platform.

If you have any thoughts about these new features, you can reply to Haider’s tweet on the subject.

Google Assistant is now bilingual

At least when it comes to six specific languages. But that’s still an incredible feat for Google’s digital assistant. At the moment, no other voice assistant can’t support more than one language at a time. Google Now previously had bilingual support. But starting today, Google is rolling out globally the ability for Google Assistant to recognize two languages at once. It’s currently limited to English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. Here are the instructions on how to enable the feature, once it’s available to you. And when it does come, theoretically it should work for Assistant on both your mobile devices and Google Home, possibly even third-party Assistant-powered speakers.
