Cute or Not is the Tinder-like app for pets

If you’re the type who likes judging other people’s pets or just want to show off your own adorable little pooch, BuzzFeed has the app for you. Called “Cute or Not,” the iOS app lets you share photos of your dogs, cats, or “other” cute creatures. Like what you do with Tinder (minus the real life “social interactions”), you swipe to the right if you find the pet cute or to the left if not. It’s that simple. You can also check out the “trending” pet photos on the app or sort through your own uploads. Sharing is available over at Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter to get more people to use the app.

Twitter brings ‘While you were away’ feature to Android

A month after Twitter introduced its new “While you were away” feature to iOS, Android users are finally going to get a taste of it. Whether you like it or not, the new recap feature is on Google’s mobile platform and you can’t turn it off.

“While you were away” shows the “top” tweets you’ve missed since the last time you were on the social network. These tweets are chosen based on tweet engagement and user habits (much like what Facebook does with its News Feed). However, Twitter emphasizes that they’re still focusing on real-time updates and if you’re frequently on the app you won’t see the feature as often.
