Twitter's new Highlights Feature

How to enable Twitter's new Highlights feature on Android

Make sure you never miss an important tweet or conversation, by enabling Highlights.

Twitter on Thursday announced a new feature, called Highlights, that's intended to help you stay informed on the most important tweets and conversations among your followers.

The feature is limited to English-language readers with the Twitter app installed on an Android device, however.

While Highlights is officially launching today, April 23, it requires an opt-in to start receiving alerts.

To enable the feature on your account, you'll need to launch the official Twitter app on your Android device and bring up the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of your screen.
Select Settings from the drop-down.
Next, tap on your account name. If you have more than one account, you'll need to complete this process on each account.
Tap on Mobile Notifications.
Scroll down until you find the new option titled Highlights and tap on it. The check box should now display a check mark, indicating the feature is enabled.

Alternatively, you can also access Highlitghts by tapping on its icon in the navigation bar of the Twitter app.

Back out of Settings and look for an alert toward the bottom of your device's screen letting you know the new notification setting has been saved.

Now, all you have to do is wait until Twitter feels it has enough important content to push an alert to your device. I enabled the feature about 30 minutes ago and have yet to receive anything. Which is what I expected, considering Twitter will only send a maximum of two highlight alerts per day.

Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well, Apple . In a series of photos posted to his website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras. Similar to a typical quadcopter, the Apple drone has four rotors and four cameras that can shoot still and panoramic photos (up to 100MP). The concept, which was first spotted by CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...

Apple Car

Could This Be The Apple Car? There’s been plenty written about the potential Apple car. Now, though, we have an interesting guess as to what it might look like when it hits the road. This version is quintessentially Apple with smooth lines, tons of technology, and that iconic Apple logo prominently featured. These Apple car concepts were drawn up by CarWow ,and they include both interior and exterior design possibilities. It starts by taking a cue from Tesla with an absentee grille and flowing, aerodynamic lines that look a bit like the Magic Mouse. Colors are white, black, and gold in a nod to the newest iPhones with carbon-fiber reinforced plastics that include a coating to keep dirt from marring that perfect finish. The wheels are designed to cut drag and look good. The interior is where it suddenly looks like no other car. There’s a fingerprint-reading home button on the driver and passenger front doors and it’s all unlocked from the outside with a left to rig...

Cool Down

Cool Down Your Android Phone With a Tap An overheating phone is bad news for your battery life, your palms and the internal components inside your device. Fortunately, there's an Android app that can help, shutting down some non-essential system tasks and background processes to give your handset the chance to cool off. You can choose from a one-tap quick fix or a more detailed manual mode. The app in question is EaseUS Coolphone and it offers several ways to wave a metaphorical fan in front of your phone's face. You can tap the quick cool button on the app's opening screen, via the app's one-button widget or from the app's entry in the notification drawer. After a few moments of scanning, you can choose to apply the changes suggest by the app. It will look for apps running in the background that don't necessarily have to be there, as well as settings that can be turned off to reduce the work your phone's doing. If you find these changes t...
