COVID-19 cases have been rising at an unprecedented rate for the past few weeks in India.

The Indian government is constantly working with states and health department to fill the gap between medical demands and their availability.
Why does Twitter want to add new features to the platform?
Social media has played a crucial role since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic to address issues and spread awareness. People have been extensively using Twitter to delegate information regarding the availability of beds, oxygen cylinders, and other medical facilities in various hospitals. This helps the patients and their families to quickly know which hospital they need to reach without wasting time on searching.
According to Twitter, “All across the country, people are using Twitter to find the latest information and access to resources right now. As this people’s movement unfolds, we wanted to remind you of some of the features that could help you find what you’re looking for faster”.
What are the advanced features has Twitter added to the platform?
Twitter has added the following features to help COVID-19 patients get quick assistance and medical help.
Advanced Search to find tweets from a particular during a period
The Advanced features added by Twitter will enable the users to use filters to find tweets and hashtags related to the resource they are seeking. For instance, if a user is looking for a vacant bed in a hospital. He can use the advanced search option to find the tweets related to the vacant beds during a specific period and related hashtags.
According to Twitter, “Advanced Search https://twitter.com/search-advanced can help you filter for fields like a specific hashtag, time period, or Tweets from a particular account”.

Advanced Search to find tweets close to their location
Twitter has also added a feature that will allow users to find tweets posted near to their location. You can get the tweets based on proximity in the search bar. Simply, turn the “Near you” toggle on placed under the Location option. However, this feature works only when the location of your device is enabled.
According to Twitter, “If you’d like to see Tweets that are close to your current location, type in a relevant hashtag in the search bar, tap the toggle button on the top right, and turn on ‘Near you’ under ‘Location’. You’ll have to turn on location settings for this to work”.

WhatsApp is a Facebook-owned cross-platform centralized messaging and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service that allows you to connect with your family, friends, and contacts.

My Contacts Except: This option allows you to share our status with your contacts except for people you select.
Only Share With: This option enables you to share your status only with selected contacts.
Who would need to download a WhatsApp status?
WhatsApp status is quite similar to Instagram Stories. Both of them offer you features to enhance your pictures or videos to post them as a highlight. WhatsApp, just like Instagram, does not offer any feature to download a picture or video from someone’s status. Although you can take the screenshot, you can’t download the image or video posted as a WhatsApp status.
There are several methods to save the WhatsApp status of a person. Some third-party apps also allow you to download a person’s WhatsApp status. However, you should not blindly trust third-party applications as they often demand you to sign in to your account. Here we will discuss the most secure method to save a person’s WhatsApp status on your Android device.
How can you download WhatsApp status on your Android smartphone?
To download an image or a video posted as a WhatsApp status on your Android smartphone follows these steps.

To fill the gap created by the TikTok ban in India, Instagram launched Reels for creating short video clips on its platform last year. This feature allows Instagram users to create and edit 15-second multi-clip videos with audio, effects and new creative tools. Also in order to step up its competition against TikTok and Snapchat the Facebook-owned social networking app keeps on updating with the latest features. Recently it released a feature called Remix and in a new development, it has begun testing Reels ads in India.With the announcement of the commencement of testing Reels ads in India the company is intended to make capital through the feature.

The Reels ads will allow businesses to express themselves creatively and find deeper connections with the audiences that matter to them.According to the company, these ads will be full-screen and immersive, similar to ads in Stories. As with organic Reels content, ads can be up to 30 seconds and people can comment, like, view, save, share and skip Reels ads.Besides this Facebook has also announced a new topic targeting options within Facebook In-Stream video, testing of Instagram Reels Ads and other ad experiences in Facebook Stories to help increase opportunities for brands to better engage with relevant audiences.”According to the company the Facebook In-Stream eligible videos are being watched by over 2 billion people every month, therefore, completing 70% of In-Stream standalone video ads views.
