Twitter has released updates for its iOS and Android apps bringing new features and a minor redesign.
The
update a
brings new features including picture previews in the tweet composer
and easy access to picture gallery in the composer. The change reduces
the number of steps involved in selecting and uploading pictures via the
apps, as the tweet composer displays the pictures within the app. The
tweet composer now also includes the user's profile picture and account
name which was previously missing. It's also easier to add or remove the
location as it can be now done right from the tweet box.
Twitter
has also made user interface design changes in timeline view offering
wider and taller timelines in all parts of the app including profiles,
search, and discover. Previously there was a white border visible
throughout.
The above features have been pushed to both the iOS as well as the Android app.
The
update also includes richer notifications for Android users. With the
update, users will now see more details about their interactions on
Twitter right in the notifications drawer. They'll be able to swipe the
notification to expand and see more details in the drawer.
The apps will also notify the user when their friends join Twitter.
Twitter
had previously updated its apps, earlier this month. The update brought
trends from over 100 new locations. The updated iOS app also allowed
users to invite friends to join Twitter from within the app. In addition
to this, the Twitter iOS app version 5.6 also introduced improved
playback of Vine videos along with some minor bug fixes.
Twitter
had recently introduced two-factor authentication to beef up security
following a spate of attacks on accounts of prominent media outlets
including the Associated Press, the Financial Times and The Onion.
