Twitter Updates Android and iOS Apps

Twitter updated its iOS and Android apps on Wednesday by improving the photo uploading experience and making it easier to switch between multiple accounts.

Now when you add an image to tweet from Twitter’s mobile app, you’ll see a full preview of the photo rather than a cropped version. Images are also easier to upload; simply use a button in the bottom right corner of the compose box for a new tweet. When uploading a photo from the camera roll, images appear below the compose window, letting you quickly select your desired image.

When creating a new tweet, your avatar and username will now appear on the page, too. People with several linked Twitter accounts can toggle between the two by simply tapping on the avatar. This feature also makes it easier to quickly check which account you're tweeting from -- with a visual verification -- so you don't accidentally send out personal tweets from your business account, or vice versa.

Twitter also added a new layer of privacy: the ability to remove location information from individual tweets directly to the compose box. If you'd rather not share your location, feel free to temporarily turn off location sharing for that particular tweet while you're composing a message.

In addition, Twitter is bringing richer Android notifications by providing more information about specific Twitter interactions for Android users directly in the notifications drawer.

You can download Twitter’s updated app now from the App Store and Google Play.
