#Twitter adds autoplay video feature on web and iOS by @Tiwaash

Changes are good specially when they are done to simplify our actions and that’s what Twitter has done today with the videos. Twitter has been working constantly to improbe the user experience and also to do do away with the number of taps. Twitter said

Today, it’s become even easier to enjoy video on Twitter. Now native videos, Vines and GIFs will begin to play back automatically. So you can keep up with the action without missing a Tweet and get a better sense of what’s been shared instantly.

Once you tap the video, sound will turn on and the video will continue to play in an expanded view. If you turn the video to landscape mode, the sound will automatically turn on and the video will expand to fill the screen. Although you have ultimate control through your settings. You can choose to revert to the previous click-to-play experience all the time or simply have videos autoplay only when you’re connected to wifi.

This feature is made available to users on the web and iOS, Android users will get this feature soon, but there is no news for WindowsPhone users.

Stay tuned for more tech buzz.

Combine fun selfie videos and quotes with #Dubsmash by @jimboireland #Andriod #iOS #Apps

Dubsmash is a new app thats gained much attention of late and its easy to see why,i have had a few clips sent to me from friends but never looked into it that much partly to been too busy but i have had the chance now to have a good look at the app and the feedback its been getting and in short is that everyone loves it.

How it works..

Well its simple ,you download the app to your compatible device and its simple to proceed from there.There is a huge array of preloaded scenarios for you to pick from such as Animals,Comedy,Horror,Cartoon,Swag,Business,Sci-Fi,Love,Food,Musicals,Parody,Action Heros,Video Games,Politicians,Sports,Names,Tv Shows.

On opening the app you can create a Dub,see your dubs,send feedback,pick a language,In Settings you can decide if you want push notifications on a daily or weekly basis or no notifications,im sure that option will never be used,you do not use an app like this not knowing what others are doing with the app.

Above is a portion of the list as mentioned earlier which is pretty impressive there is no shortage of items to pic from at all ,once in this list there is a drop down menu then hosting more to pick from so you will not fall short on being creative or funny or whatever your mood maybe there is plenty here to pick from and you will also have fun looking at what is there too..

Overall im impressed with this app and its a great idea, the fact you can share the recording to WhatsApp or facebook messenger direct from the app itself, you can also save it to your gallery and share further afield,all my samples came through Viber so we can say it works a treat..Dubstep is free to download too..
