Spotify Running comes to Android

This section allows the app to create running playlists based on how you’re moving. To access it in the app, you need to head to the menu screen and select the Running option. From there you pick a playlist and start moving. The app will detect your tempo and base the songs it plays on your speed.

Twitter is making it easier for you to shop on its app

Whether you like it or not, e-commerce is coming to your favorite apps. This time, Twitter is partnering with payments startup Stripe to help merchants sell their goods right on Twitter. The project called Relay lets merchants reach Twitter’s audience with tweets from participating brands now showing a “Buy” button. The button will pull up a pop-up screen where you can select the products you want to purchase. You’ll then give your credit card information to Twitter once and it’ll store that information for future Relay payments.

Stripe already works behind the scenes to power payment systems of apps like Lyft and Instacart. They hope Relay will help simplify the mobile buying experience for Twitter users. Right now, Warby Parker is one of the merchants trying out Twitter’s new Relay system. At the moment, people can select a color and size of a particular nonprescription sunglasses style without having to leave Twitter.
