Canada is one of four countries trying out a new long-form writing feature on Twitter. The new Notes feature will allow writers on the platform to write lengthier pieces on the app. It will enable you to go beyond 280 characters using a rich-text editor for writing. A small group of writers in the country, as well as those in the US, the UK, and Ghana, are trying this feature out. But users from around the world will get to see these Notes.

Other features you can expect include photo, video, GIF, and tweet embedding, the option to edit Notes (even after being published), and a special Notes tab on the profile (first coming to the web, then on mobile). The feature is available on both mobile and the web. You can read more about the feature here.

We've already seen previews of Nothing's first smartphone. Unfortunately, the Nothing phone (1) won't get a widespread release here. Instead, Nothing plans to distribute a "limited number" of the devices to community investors in the country as part of a "closed beta." But it hopes to release it in the region in the future. It will be launching in Europe on July 12, with the company auctioning off the first units to interested buyers.

"While we'd love to bring phone (1) to the entire community around the world, we're focusing on home markets, including the UK and Europe, where we have strong partnerships with leading local carriers," the company told PCMag in a statement. "It takes a lot to launch a smartphone as you know, from ensuring the handset is supported by the country's cellular technologies to carrier partnerships and local regulation, and as we're still a young brand we need to be strategic about it."
