Walt Disney Co. has added social-media features to its Watch ABC app to capitalize on the growing number of consumers who multitask while watching TV.

Features introduced this week with the new TV season let mobile-phone or tablet users post messages or read comments on Twitter.com and Facebook.com, while watching a show on the same screen, according to Disney. Viewers can quickly post pre-edited clips from a show on social media with a tool called FastShare.
