Twitter Spaces was launched in November 2020 to compete with Facebook’s Clubhouse. Any user with a Twitter account was allowed to join a space, but only Twitter account holders with a minimum of 600 followers were allowed to host a space. Now, a year after its launch, a few major updates have been released that are aimed at widening the reach of Twitter Spaces to users across the web. Most notably, Twitter says that accessing the Spaces section will no longer require a Twitter account.
Thanks to this update, users can share direct links to Spaces with others, and invitees can attend the sessions even without logging into their accounts. Users without Twitter accounts can also access Spaces via Twitter’s Web version.
However, there are a few restrictions to these changes. At the moment, these updates are limited to the web browser. It is expected that Twitter will extend this feature to its Android and iOS app in the coming months. Also, non-account holders will not have the option of hosting Spaces or engaging in conversations, but can simply access the audio. Twitter Spaces currently allows up to 13 members to speak in a single session (this includes a host and two cohosts).
Twitter has made several changes recently in the Spaces section to enhance user experience. All account holders, including those using the app version, can host a Space, even if the number of followers on their accounts is below 600. Another change has allowed hosts to record their audio sessions, which gives them access to the same for 30 days. The recording and replay features allow users to listen to audio conversations even after their conclusion. They are expected to arrive soon for Android users. In order to take advantage of the full set of benefits, it is suggested that users sign up for a new Twitter account.

If you were waiting for PUBG Mobile to relaunch in India then there’s some bad news for you. PUBG Mobile was expected to make a comeback in India by end of December 2020 or early January 2021. But it turns out that the wait could be longer and the South Korean company– Krafton– which is spearheading the launch in India has nothing concrete to say about the official rollout. Meanwhile, the newly launched PUBG: New State is not coming to India.
As per a report by Sportskeeda, gamers in India will not be able to pre-register for PUBG: New State. Krafton is waiting for the green light from the government to relaunch the game and no one knows as to how much time it will take or if at all the government allows the game. Thankfully, Krafton hasn’t given up hopes just yet but it would be interesting to see whether PUBG Mobile players in India will continue to have the same interest to play the game after this delay.
PUBG Mobile withdrew its franchise partnership with China-based Tencent Games in a bid to shed its ‘Chinese tag’. Krafton, based in South Korea, is a video game holding company that owns PUBG Corporation. After the ban in India, PUBG Corporation said in September that it is “hoping to work hand-in-hand with the Indian government to find a solution”.
The makers of PUBG Mobile founded a new company in India called PUBG India Private Limited after the approval of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The company is already listed on the ministry’s website with a valid Corporate Identity Number (CIN) and registered office in Bengaluru. This company is a subsidiary of PUBG Corporation, creator of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), and a subsidiary of South Korea’s Krafton Inc.
There’s a new version of the game as well exclusively for the Indian market called PUBG Mobile India. The new version is said to be set in a virtual simulation training ground, new characters automatically starting clothed, and green hit effects to reflect the virtual nature of the game. Also, there will be time limits as to how long you can play.
The game was expected to arrive for Android users in India by the end of 2020 while iPhone users were expecting to play the game in January. But there seems to be little hope about PUBG Mobile coming to India any time soon.
