Jack Dorsey meets with Donald Trump

THE DAILY CRUNCH
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24 2019 By Anthony Ha

Jack Dorsey meets with President Trump, Snapchat is growing again and Google Fit comes to iOS. Here's your Daily Crunch for April 24, 2019.

1. Jack Dorsey just met with Trump to talk about the health of Twitter's public discourse

We don't know how things went down exactly, but according to a Motherboard report, an internal Twitter email named "the health of the public conversation on Twitter" as the topic of the day.

"Twitter is here to serve the entire public conversation, and we intend to make it healthier and more civil," Dorsey tweeted at Trump afterwards. "Thanks for the discussion about that."

2. Snapchat revives growth in Q1 beat with 190M users

Snapchat appears to have turned the corner after a year of flat or negative user growth.

3. Google Fit comes to iOS

Until today, the only way to get your Fit data on your iPhone was in a special section of the Wear OS app on the iPhone. Without a Wear OS device, though, that section would've been empty.

4. Ford invests $500M in Rivian and intends to build a vehicle on Rivian's EV platform

This investment comes two months after Rivian netted $700 million from a funding round that was lead by Amazon.

5. UK gives Huawei an amber light to supply 5G

The U.K. government will allow Huawei to be a supplier for some non-core parts of the country's 5G networks, despite concerns that the involvement of the Chinese telecoms vendor could pose a risk to national security.

6. 'Avengers: Endgame' is a very silly movie, but it ends in exactly the right way

A (mostly) spoiler-free review.

7. The master list of PR DON'Ts (or how not to piss off the writer covering your startup)

Danny Crichton compiled this list by polling TechCrunch's entire writing staff for their pet peeves when it comes to working with PR folks and founders. (Extra Crunch membership required.)
