The first one is if you’ve been subjected to harassment on the platform and want to kick that negativity and abuse out of your life, the social network is now allowing its users to report abuse by attaching multiple tweets to your report.
According to Twitter, they investigate reports to come up with an appropriate response to them. Giving them more evidence will help strengthen your case again those who abuse the platform.

The other update brings Android users in line with iOS users by letting Periscope livestream automatically play on timelines. Before, you’d have to click on the link to view broadcasts.
Of course, if you don’t want this to eat up your data, you could disable video autoplay from the app settings. The feature should be going live on your timeline soon. No word yet when Twitter plans to bring it to the web app, too.
