Earlier this month, Twitter revealed that some paid subscriptions services are in the works. If Twitter users pay for subscription then they may get some premium features. Now it has been reported that one such feature will allow users to ‘undo’ their tweets.
According to security researcher Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter is working on app subscription for paid features like “Undo Tweet”. Wong put out a tweet regarding this.

The feature was then confirmed by Twitter to CNet. Wong meanwhile also showed briefly how the feature might work. The undo tweet feature is different from delete tweet. Undo will stop the tweet being sent out at all. It will also have a timer — in form of a progress bar — indicating to users how much time they have before they can undo the tweet. It’s not clear how much users will have to pay for this feature or will it be clubbed with other features for which users subscribe.
Twitter has revealed features called Super Follows and Communities, during a presentation for analysts and investors, claims a report by The Verge.
Starting with the Super Follows first, this feature will allow Twitter users to charge followers for access to exclusive content. “That could be bonus tweets, access to a community group, subscription to a newsletter, or a badge indicating your support” added the report.
As per the screenshot shared, Twitter showed an example where a user was charged $4.99 per month to receive a series of perks.
The second feature, called Communities, is a direct rival to Facebook Groups. These are aimed to connect people sharing similar interests.

Secure Application for Internet or SAI, is a messaging platform for the Indian Army, developed by the Indian Army. The Indian Army is said to be starting the usage of SAI starting April 1, according to reports. The indegenous app, that supports end-to-end voice, text, and video calling services is similar to commercially available messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, and the recently-launched Sandes.

The Ministry of Defence announced SAI back in October 2020, and said that the Android app scored over on security features with local in-house servers and codes, which can be tweaked as per requirements. The app has been vetter by CERT-in empaneled auditor and the Army Cyber Group, and is currently in the process for filing Intellectual Property Rights hosting infrastructure on the NIC. The app is also under development for iOS and will be utilised by the Indian Army to facilitate secure messaging within the service.

SAI has been developed by Col Sai Shankar and is undergoing the process of getting cyber and security clearance and data testing. SAI is said to be an alternative to WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal.

In July, after the Centre banned 59 Chinese apps, officers of the Indian Army were instructed to remove 89 apps from their mobiles including apps like Daily Hunt, Tinder, Facebook, TikTok, Zoom, and PUBG, which was later banned in September 2020. Last year, the Indian Army also instructed its soldiers to steer clear of WhatsApp for official usage. Even carrying smartphones on bases and dockyars has also been prohibited by the Indian Armed forces.
