Twitter looks to unify app experience on iOS with iPad update

Twitter is hoping to have a more unified experience on iOS with the latest update for the iPad. The tablet version of the app now sports a similar look to the iPhone app. You can now also quote tweets on the iPad. Twitter’s using an adaptive layout for the iPad so it can support new features coming to iOS 9 such as multitasking. The rollout of the update is happening on an account-by-account basis. Just wait for a bit before it hits your device.

Twitter for Windows 10 plays catch up

One of the biggest complaints against apps on Microsoft is they don’t get updated as frequently (if at all) as their counterparts on other ecosystems. At least Twitter is trying to bridge that gap now by bringing some of its new features to Windows 10. The Twitter for Windows app now has group messaging, multi-account support, lists, and the Happening Now section. Yes, you can also now quote tweets the same way you do with Twitter’s other apps. It’s not everything yet but it’s a start.

Twitter crowds your mobile timeline further with ‘who to follow’ list

You may or may not have gotten used to seeing more items on your main timeline on Twitter mobile. Now, you’re going to have to get used to more as Twitter adds a “Who to follow” feature on both iPhone and Android. Much like the “While you were away” feature, it shows you a list of people Twitter thinks you should be following—including “promoted accounts” a.k.a. brands. If by chance Twitter recommends a person to you who has passed already, they encourage you to contact their support team. And just like the “While you were away” feature, you can also just take this thing out by tapping on the X symbol.

Twitter now lets you pin tweets to the top of your profile on mobile

Being able to pin tweets to the top of your profile used to be a Web-exclusive feature. Now, Twitter is bringing the functionality to Android and iOS. You can have your brilliant tweets, no matter how old they are, show up at the top of your profile. All you need to do is open up the specific tweet, click on the menu button, and select “Pin to your profile.” Roll-out is gradual so you’ll have to be a bit patient if it hasn’t made its way to your device yet.
