iOS

Direct Messenger for iOS is a Twitter-flavoured version of Facebook Messenger, allowing users to DM in peace without distractions from their timeline.

As this is not an official app from Twitter, there are a few compatibility issues since the microblogging giant imposes API restrictions on third-party developers.

Text pings back and forth just fine, but web users who receive animated emoji sent from the app will see only a static symbol, while images are converted into web links.

The Twitter-owned video network has added a Shazam-like song tagging feature and a tool for creating seamless audio loops.

Exclusive to iOS for the time being, Snap to Beat helps Viners create "perfect" or "seamless loops" that continuously play without glitching.

"Music has been part of Vine's culture since the beginning," said the Vine team in a blog post.
