News Digest is the boldest and most visually impressive app the company has released since Yahoo!

Whilst yet to be made public, Sphere is said to be knowledge-sharing service where users can swap information via instant messaging.[6] As of March 2019, the Financial Times reports that the company has raised US$30 million.[6] In October 2021, multiple news outlets including TechCrunch, The Telegraph, The Times and BBC reported that Sphere had been acquired by Twitter, and that the majority of the 30-person team would be joining the company.[4][5][34][35]Awards and recognition[edit]D’Aloisio garnered media attention for being a young entrepreneur.
