Twitter Rebrands Android App to X
German article reports Twitter's rebrand to X extending to the Android app. The updated X logo appears on the official site and the blue bird icon is replaced with a white X on a black background, as part of Elon Musk's vision of an 'app for everything.' The Android app is described as X for Android with version 10.0.0-beta.0, based on Attila Blénesi's post citing 9to5Google. The APK teardown by Dylan Roussel indicates the package name remains com.twitter.android and that the Play Store entry was updated, with X moving to the end of the app grid. In-app changes include X appearing in the Home Feed navigation bar and the top tab hinting 'Search X'; Twitter Blue in the navigation bar has been renamed to Blue. A future iPhone update is not yet known, and users are expected to migrate without needing to install a new app.

X relaunches rebuilt Android app
X has published a ground-up rebuilt Android app after nearly a year of development, now available on the Google Play Store. Built from scratch, the update promises faster, smoother and more reliable performance — with improvements to content loading, scrolling, notifications and overall stability — and should enable quicker feature development, according to product chief Nikita Bier, who called it one of the company’s largest engineering efforts. X invited users to submit feedback and bug reports after launch. Some work remains, notably performance optimizations for older devices and support for live audio Spaces; additional features such as a video editor, video reactions, cashtags and custom timelines will roll out in the coming weeks. X also recently released the standalone messaging app XChat and formed an Android “Dream Team” in 2025 to modernize the platform.
LinkedIn says don't treat leads as finish in B2B
At LinkedIn's B2Believe event in its new Empire State Building space, executives and practitioners called for a shift from lead-centric B2B marketing to a 'full journey' approach that links signals, targeting, creative, full journey, and measurement. Jae Oh, senior director of product management, revealed that fewer than 10% of upper-funnel audiences make it into bottom-funnel campaigns, urging marketers to connect awareness with demand capture. Research from LinkedIn's B2B Institute with eMarketer showed 77% of marketers say they no longer target individuals, yet only 31% have a playbook for activating audiences down the funnel. Practitioners from Canva, SAP, Mastercard, and others shared examples of aligning marketing and sales on common signals. LinkedIn also outlined a product roadmap focused on cost-per-opportunity targeting, multi-format campaigns, agentic workflows, and incrementality forecasting.
Meta launches Muse for Small Business, targeting enterprise AI
Meta expanded its AI agent Muse to small businesses with Muse for Small Business, initially available in the US and Canada, following the successful launch of the Muse app in early September. The agent integrates with over 20 tools including Shopify, Dropbox, Slack, Asana, QuickBooks, Intuit, Canva, Stripe, Box, Zoom, and Notion, and automates tasks like customer communication, cash flow management, inventory, website creation, to-do identification, sales analysis, and anomaly detection. Unlike traditional chatbots, users can set concrete goals, and the agent analyzes data from connected apps to derive actions, executing multi-step workflows. It uses a freemium model with premium plans at $20 and $100 per month, surpassing three million downloads. Data privacy concerns have been raised, and Amazon requested removal from Muse due to lack of consent. Muse does not share VM data with Meta's ads system. The service targets 200 million SMBs; Jefferies estimates $10.8B subscription revenue by 2027. Meta's stock rose 25% in September, amid competition from OpenAI's 'dots'.
