Rest of the Day: Spotify Song Sharing Added to Facebook Messenger
Facebook Messenger is a very popular app. It has about more users than grains of sand on the beach. And now all these users can share songs through Spotify to express more than just “you?”
- Facebook makes it easy to share songs and playlists on Messenger by connecting to Spotify . Just tap the more icon (three dots) when you’re in a message thread and open Spotify to choose which song you want to share. At the moment this only works in the app, so if you are chatting with someone on desktop chat, they will not receive the link. [TechCrunch]
- In addition to announcing new Echo devices , Amazon is also working on Echo compatibility with the popular Nest and Honeywell thermostats . Later this month, you will be able to inform your Robot Assistant about the temperature requirements. [The Verge]
- Apple has just launched an official Twitter support account . I’m not sure Twitter is the best way to handle customer inquiries, but it’s a very good place to complain loudly and in depth. [The Next Web]
- Vimeo for iOS has been redesigned with some cool features for viewing and searching videos – especially the picture-in-picture feature on iPad running iOS 9. [9to5Mac]
- Amazon removed device encryption in Fire OS 5 because no one was using it . Bad security practice, but nobody really uses Fire OS. Sorry for the burn. [Ars Technica]
