Twitter Updates
As of today, Twitter has introduced two new features. First, users can switch between their Home timeline and the latest tweets feed. Second, they can now write longer content and share them with a group of up to 150 people. Third, Twitter is testing a new feature called ‘Flock’ which allows users to share a tweet with multiple people. For more information, check out the new Twitter features.
Tweets are now displayed in two tabs
Twitter has changed its default design and made it easier to customize the timeline. You can now view recent Tweets in the home feed, and scroll back through your entire timeline to see older Tweets.

If you are a regular Twitter user, you can customize the timeline to your preference by selecting the “pin to homescreen” option.
You can now access your lists directly from your Twitter app, but you need to access your profile through the app first. You’ll also have to click on the “Lists” icon in order to access a list. It is important to note that tabs are not persistent. Clicking on one will switch to a new tab that you’ve previously closed. You can now use multiple Twitter accounts at once.
Users can switch between the Home timeline and the Latest Tweets feed
Twitter changed its design recently, making it harder to choose between a chronological feed and a curated timeline. The change will not affect third-party apps and is only applicable to the site itself. Its default view will remain the ‘Home’ timeline.

The switch is relatively seamless.
Twitter’s new design means users can choose to pin their curated ‘Home’ timeline to the Home tab. However, they can still access the Latest Tweets by tapping the pinned list. Those on Android and iOS will be able to view the curated timeline at all times without having to tap the sparkle icon every time they want to read something from a specific account. Users can expect the new design to be rolled out across platforms soon.
Users can now write longer-form content
Twitter has announced that it has begun testing a new feature for long-form content – notes. This feature allows users to write 2,500-character long articles, with as few as 100 characters for the title. The feature is available in the ‘Write’ tab on the left-hand panel of the Twitter app. Read also : How to Make a Twitter Account For Your Business. As with other features, you can include media and other tweets. Once published, you can edit it later. A label with the status of ‘Edited’ will appear at the top of the Note.
In 2017, Twitter increased the character limit to 280 characters. Though this feature was not yet confirmed, some users have expressed frustration over the small character limit. Twitter is now exploring new ways to engage users. Twitter is allowing users to write longer content and upload screenshots. The new feature is a boon for people who want to write and share content on the site, but it’s unclear how much longer a user can post.
Twitter is testing a new feature called ‘Flock’ that lets them share a tweet with a group of up to 150 users
The new feature is akin to Snapchat’s ‘Shake to Report’ feature, which lets users shake their phone to report bugs. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, has a similar feature. Users can choose whether their post is visible to the public or only to their ‘Trusted Friends’. A green heart will appear next to the user’s tweets that are shared with a group of trusted people.
Alessandro Paluzzi, a mobile developer, leaked the feature by saying that it will allow users to “share a tweet” with up to 150 people. The feature won’t notify users when they’ve added or removed from the group. Users can choose to share their tweet with up to 150 people, and they can also decide whether they want the tweet to be seen publicly.
