Twitter’s
login service Digits has received an update today which adds in more
features. The new update brings in a friend-finding tool, which will
allow developers to request access to the contacts on a users’ phone and
a new two factor verification to the service.
Twitter’s
blog shared that with the new friend-finding tool, users can seamlessly
create their own social graph with their users’ contact list. It added
that Digits will match both mutual or one-way connections so users who
are already on the service, will know immediately which of their
contacts are also using your app and they can also be alerted when a
friend joins later.
Twitter
said that, “By delivering an experience fit for the individual user,
you can increase the adoption of your app and retention among your user
base. New users will know immediately which of the people they know best
are using your app and current users can be ambassadors for the new
initiates.”
For
the privacy conscious, the new feature is opt-in and Twitter says it
will not share the social graph users create in an app or service with
third-party apps, pointed out The Next Web. For security purposes, the
other two-factor verification feature added to Digits requires a phone
number sign up and users can create a verification code that they will
use to login. This code acts as a second layer of protection and would
keep your account safe if you lost your or misplaced your phone.
Developers
can access Digits by downloading Fabric and installing the Twitter Kit.
For users who already have Digits, head to the Android or iOS docs for a
complete walk-through on implementing friend-finding and two-step
verification.
