In social media land...

Twitteris trying to fix its abuse problem. Again. This time the network is cracking down on repeat offenders, introducing a new "safe search" feature and filtering out "low quality" replies in users' feeds. Speaking of Twitter, all those broken replies on Donald Trump's tweets are apparently caused by a longstanding bug.
Also, Miranda Kerr, fiancé of SnapchatCEO Evan Spiegel, is really, really not happy with Facebook. In a recent interview, she panned the social network for copying Snapchat's features. "When you directly copy someone, that’s not innovation," she said.

WhatsAppofficially added two-factor verification to its app, which prevents anyone from activating your phone number without a six-digit passcode. It's not perfect, but a lot more secure than not using it.
Viberhas added disappearing photo messages to its lineup of features so you can keep (some of) your chats extra private.
Meanwhile, Edward Snowden's messaging app of choice, Signal, is beta testing video calling on Android.
