After getting its license to operate in British Columbia, both Uber and Lyft are available in certain areas of Vancouver. For those looking for Lyft rides, they mainly work in the downtown area of Vancouver. Outside of the downtown area, they offer trips at the Pacific National Exhibition and Vancouver International Airport. 

Meanwhile, Uber operates so far in the larger Metro Vancouver area, including Coquitlam, Delta, Surrey, and West and North Vancouver. Uber passengers can be dropped off anywhere inside or outside its service area. But you can't start a trip outside of the service area. Both companies hope to expand further, as more drivers sign up.

Twitter brings emoji reactions to Direct Messages. It looks similar to Facebook Messenger's emoji reactions. Instead of heart eyes or angry emojis on Facebook, Twitter replaced it with a heart and fire emojis. So, if you'd rather not type out your reactions, you can just use these emojis. Click on the icon next to the message you want to react to, or you can double-tap on the message to see the reactions. If you're using an older version of the app, the reaction will show up as a separate message.
