Getting into the gaming business is a strategy digital content platforms tend to adopt for two reasons: one, as a way of keeping old users engaged with the platform and attracting new users; and two, for increasing revenue. LinkedIn has recently become one of these platforms too, with the launch of its own puzzle games.

 

The games are: ‘Pinpoint,’ ‘Crossclimb,’ and ‘Queens,’ and they are all available on LinkedIn on desktop as well as mobile. Each of these games can be played once in a day. They also show metrics like high score, daily streak, leaderboards, and people you know that have played them.

The Delta game emulator is the first game emulator that is available for free on the App Store for the first time. It'll enable iOS users to enjoy the gaming experience on their iPhones almost like a pseudo Nintendo DS or GBA.



The app can be accessed on the App Store in several countries outside the EU, and in the EU, it is making debut with the newly launched third-party AltStore PAL app marketplace. According to Riley Testut, developer of the Delta emulator, both the app versions work the same. Other Nintendo emulators, including a wide range from the original Nintendo Entertainment System and Nintendo 64, are also expected to arrive to the App Store. 

 

On-screen buttons in the app change their layout and appearance to match the emulated system. Users can also put up extra buttons for different functions such as quick save states and fast-forward, as well as customize their layout.

 

The Delta app supports Bluetooth controllers like Xbox One Series S or PS5 controllers; and multiplayer for the NES, SNES, N64, and AirPlay streaming too. It also works with some of Nintendo’s non-typical input methods, like the gyroscope and microphone controls.

 

Delta offers some additional touches as well, like automatic grabbing of the box art for the games and the ability to customize the art using its built-in database or even custom images. Users can also import controller skins and customize them.

 

Delta was first released as a 1.0 version in 2019, which means that it has been updated and improved multiple times through the years. This will likely make the app one of the most enhanced emulation experiences on the iPhone.

YouTube has been testing its Queue feature for iOS and Android versions of the app for about a month. The feature has been available on YouTube’s desktop version and the YouTube Music app, and allows a user to stack videos into a temporary playlist.

 

The way the queuing option works on the app is by displaying a ‘play last in queue’ button next to a video thumbnail. If you tap on the button while watching another video, your desired video will be added last in the queue and will play after your current video stops playing. If you tap on the button when you are not watching any video, your desired video will be added to a new queue.  

 

Videos stacked in a queue play one after another automatically – when one video ends, the next video in the sequence starts playing. There are also options to rearrange and remove the videos. Moreover, if you close the player by tapping the X button in the bottom bar or by quitting the app, your current queue will be automatically deleted. The app may also notify you before removing your queue.

Apart from providing entertainment to the app’s users, TikTok has also worked to enhance shopping and advertising experience on its platform. The company has initiated a new approach, that it calls ‘shoppertainment;’ a combination of entertainment and shopping. After surveying people about their online shopping experience, TikTok found out that the reduced impact of advertisement influences consumers’ shopping experience, and is therefore sharing key insights for advertisers to consider while creating ads in alignment with consumers’ needs.

 


TikTok begins its advertising lesson by highlighting two main needs of consumers: functional and emotional. By addressing both, brands can maximize their presence on the app, suggests TikTok. Following these needs are more specific things that consumers look for from a brand, which include storytelling and education, short content that maintains attention, unforced decision making, authenticity, and recommendations on trends.

After receiving considerable success with its short-form video feature ‘Shorts’ that collects over 30 billion views in a day, YouTube is planning to grow Shorts even more, by launching an exclusive Shorts player within its smart TV app.

 

The Shorts player will display the videos vertically at the centre of the screen, hence creating a more immersive experience for viewers. Details pertaining to the clips, including title and name of the music track will be shown on the side, along with quick access buttons to scroll up and down through the videos.

 

YouTube’s initiative is not really original however, as its competitor, TikTok, has already incorporated the same approach that enables users to access its TV app on the LG and Samsung smart TVs.
