Migration to Facebook Messenger app officially starts

If you have been putting off migrating to Facebook’s Messenger app on your mobile device, you won’t be able to put it off much longer. Facebook is already cutting off access to messaging section on the main app. You are in the minority if you are still able to see the “Never mind” button on your app. Once you get completely cut off though, you will be able to see that you have messages but you will only be able to view them once you are in Messenger app or using the Web version of Facebook.

Vine for iOS update adds more notification control and other new features

Twitter recently released an update for its Vine app on iOS to add new features as well as more language support. Vine users get more control over their notifications now. You can customize how you receive notifications via push notifications and in the Activity tab right from the Notifications menu in Settings. You’ll also know how many unread VMs and activity items you have with the new badge. You can now also create Vines without having to decide yet if you will share it publicly or just send it to someone.

The navigation bar has also been improved to let you switch between tabs with one tap instead of two and the top bar fades when you view Vines from another user’s profile or from your home feed. Vine now also supports Arabic, English (UK), and Hebrew.
