Twitter updates its mobile apps for iPhone and Android


Twitter recently announced that it has updated its iOS, Android and mobile web applications using a tweaked user interface and new features.

Social media behemoth Twitter just released a new version of Twitter for Android. New versions of both Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for Android are available today. Both apps bring back high-demand features, like the swipe shortcut, and they also introduce new design and functionality improvements. Here’s a rundown.

Both apps

Swipe shortcut: Swipe a Tweet within your home timeline to reply to, retweet, favorite or share it, or begin to see the Twitter user’s profile, without leaving your timeline.

“Find friends”: We’ve added a confirmation alert if you select “Find friends”. This notification more clearly and explicitly messages the fact when you upload your contacts’ emails and make contact with numbers, you can quickly find which of your mates are on Twitter (that is, if they’ve chosen being discoverable by email or phone number).
