Twitter has now officially launched its Super Follow, a new feature that lets creators introduce subscriber-only content for a fee. It's designed to help content creators monetize their tweets and earn on the platform. 

It's first rolling out to iOS users in the US and Canada, but it'll be available globally in the coming weeks, at least for iOS users. If you want to subscribe, you can tap the Super Follow button on an account's profile to see pricing details. Right now, Supper Follow tweets are only viewable on iOS.

Polaroid Now+ launches with clip-on filters

Polaroid's Now+ analog camera gets a bit of smarts with Bluetooth and app support, along with five new lens filters you can clip on the camera. The filters include Starburst, Orange, Red Vignette, Blue, and Yellow colours, allowing you to play around with the saturation, contrast, and different effects of your shots. This upgrade to last year's Polaroid Now also comes with autofocus, dynamic flash, and self-timer functionality. If you want to take self-portraits, you can mount this on a tripod now, too.

On the software side, the Polaroid app gets a new streamlined design with features like aperture priority and tripod mode, light painting, double exposure, and manual. The Polaroid Now+ is available in a new Blue Gray colour along with the Black and White options. It retails for USD 149.99, and it's available exclusively on Polaroid's site.

Telegram's version 8.0 update brings new features, but drops Wear OS app

Telegram's latest update brings some new features, but it looks like it also got rid of a feature. The version 8.0 update doesn't include the Wear OS app. 9to5Google noted that the app has vanished from the Play Store on Wear OS. When you search for it, it no longer appears. But if you have the app already, it should stay put.

The update brings features like unlocking the limits on the size of a live stream's audience. You can now hide captions or the sender's name with messaging forwarding. Telegram will also now show trending stickers, and it improved sticker selection on the Android app. If you send emojis as a single message, these will be animated.
