Moto 360 makes appearance in Google Play Store Canada

Joining countries in Europe (France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK), Canada will be getting the Motorola Moto 360 through Google’s Play Store real soon. It has shown up to be available in the aforementioned countries based on the support page. The tech giant may have updated the page before it is actually out though because it is still listed as coming soon. At least we get the heads up that it is arriving soon. So, if you’ve been waiting for Google to stock this baby (if you haven’t gotten it through Motorola yet). Your wait is almost over.

Twitter brings Recap feature to Canada

We earlier reported that Twitter is bringing a “while you’re away” feature to its apps. Now, the recap feature is available in Canada for iOS users. It will show you a summary of sorts of top tweets users made while you’re away. If you only occasionally check Twitter, you will see the recap more often. It is meant to help users catch up with what’s going on in the service. The feature will also be making its way to Android as well as the web version soon.

WhatsApp pulls the plug on unauthorized app

If you’ve sideloaded the WhatsApp Plus app, it’s best you get rid of it now. WhatsApp has been issuing 24-hour bans on its users for those who’ve been using the unauthorized client. According to the FAQ section of WhatsApp’s site, WhatsApp Plus isn’t supported by the company. And their source code isn’t something WhatsApp can guarantee as safe, meaning your information might be passed on to third parties. They recommend you get the app from Google Play or their website.

Instagram opens beta-testing for Android users

If you love Instagram and are using an Android device, now you can get a chance to try out new features before they go live. The Facebook-owned app is inviting Android users to sign up for beta-testing program. To be a beta-tester you have to be willing to replace your existing Instagram with a beta version of the app, which of course will come with its own set of bugs and other problems. Beta programs are designed for a select number of users to try out new features to see what works and what doesn’t before a wider release.

To sign up, you have to join the Instagram Beta Group on Google+. From there, you visit the tester link and download Instagram from Google’s Play Store to update your existing app. While using this version, make sure to submit feedback through the “Report a problem” option.
