Twitter now classified as a ‘news’ app on the Apple App Store

Twitter is no longer a social network. Or at least it’s no longer classified as one on the Apple App Store. It’s migrated from “social networking” to “news” on the app store where it now sits on top in the top free apps chart. On the Google Play store, though, it still remains under the “social” label. The switch is seen as a reaction to the social network lagging behind competitors like Facebook in the social networking category. This’ll perhaps bring attention to the app more and it highlights Twitter’s differentiator from its rivals with its real-time breaking news updates. Twitter’s still suffering from sluggish user growth so any approach to get more eyeballs and users on its platform is welcome.

The change, though, also highlights Apple’s issues with making apps more discoverable. App developers are said to be frustrated with the tech giant and discoverability issues on the platform. Even with the use of search, it’ll take a while to find relevant apps. Apple’s been making changes for this but it still has more work to do in this respect.

Alicia Vikander is the new Lara Croft

Whether it’s necessary or not, Tomb Raider is getting a reboot and Ex Machina star Alicia Vikander lands the role. She’ll be playing a “young and untested Lara Croft fighting to survive her first adventure” and inheriting the role from Angelina Jolie, who made the character famous. A lot of other names were rumoured to be getting the role, including Daisy Ridley, Emilia Clarke, Cara Delevigne, and Saoirse Ronan. But the role goes to Vikander, who was recently in The Danish Girl (where she won for best supporting actress) and who’ll be starring in Jason Bourne with Matt Damon. The film will be directed by The Wave’s Roar Uthaug and MGM and Warner Bros are co-producing the reboot.
