Add this to the fact that most SMBs are underprepared for cyber attacks, and you have the statistic stating that 75% of businesses will be victims of ransomware attacks within the next 5 years.

The social company is now making the tab available to more users, starting from iOS. The Spaces tab will highlight in-progress audio broadcasts in the app, hence promoting the discovery of the platform’s social audio feature Spaces.

 

 

The live Spaces broadcasts will be listed in the tab according to a user’s interests, based on the people and topics they follow. As a result, Spaces will get more attention from users as they tune in to check what latest topics are being talked about.

 

The Spaces tab is a valuable addition to the app, as Twitter continues to test other options to enhance the discovery of Spaces. Tags have already been introduced for finding Spaces topics and a new option of DM invites for Spaces is soon going to make its way into the app as well.
