Twitter co-founder apologizes for helping elect Trump

Evan Williams apologized if Twitter helped out Donald Trump in the White House 

President has credited Twitter with his election to the highest office in the land

The 45-year-old entrepreneur said he also believes the internet is broken

He believes things are getting worse, as people use Facebook to record in real-time, suicides, beatings and murder

A co-founder of Twitter says he's sorry if the popular social media platform helped put Donald Trump in the White House, as the president has suggested.
Evan Williams said Twitter's role in Trump's populist rise is 'a very bad thing', during an interview with the New York Times. The president has credited Twitter with his election to the highest office in the land.
Trump told Fox News in March: 'I think that maybe I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Twitter, because I get such a fake press, such a dishonest press.'
When confronted with the notion that Twitter played a part in helping Trump get elected, Williams said: 'If it's true that he wouldn't be president if it weren't for Twitter, then yeah, I'm sorry.'

Facebook Messenger Home Screen Gets a Makeover

Messenger Day posts are now located below three new tabs at the top of the home screen: Messages, Active, and Groups. The bottom bar is also getting a refresh. It now has tabs for Home, Calls, the in-app Camera, and People and Games.

Once Facebook rolled out its Snapchat Stories clone inside Messenger, the app started to feel a little busy and disorganized. So, Facebook is giving Messenger a revamp.
 
The social network is reorganizing the Messenger home screen in an effort to make it "your central hub for connecting with the people and businesses you want to in whatever way you prefer." Messenger Day posts still feature prominently, but are now located below three new tabs at the top of the home screen: Messages, Active, and Groups.
"By tapping or swiping to these tabs, you can quickly navigate to where you need to go and get messaging faster," Facebook wrote in a post on the Messenger page.
The bottom bar is also getting a refresh. It now has tabs for Home, Calls, the in-app Camera, and People and Games. When there's something new to check out in one of these tabs, Facebook will put a red dot there to let you know. When you receive a new message, for instance, you'll see a red dot next to the Home button. If you missed a call, you'll see a red dot next to Calls.
"These small changes are designed to make Messenger simpler for you – to help you get to your contacts quickly, jump into your conversations where you left off, start new chats, and stay up to date," Facebook wrote.
Facebook said it plans to roll out these changes worldwide on iOS and Android this week.
