The Twitter app for the iPad and the iPhone has recently been updated to add features that were necessary for some. Among the many new features, they now offer a Quick Bar that allows you view trending topics by swiping left or right on the top of your timeline. The other new features are:
– Photos. Uploading photos is now easier than ever. There’s a camera button in the toolbar and we improved the image preview, so you can quickly choose a photo from your library or take a new picture.
– Follow your friends. Now you can find which of your friends are on Twitter that have chosen to be discoverable through the contacts on your phone.
– Local trends. See trends based on your location.
– Shorten links. When you want to share a link on Twitter, just paste it into the Tweet box and we’ll automatically shorten it.
– Tweet box design. We redesigned the “New Tweet” screen so it’s now cleaner and simpler.
– Autocomplete. When tweeting on-the-go, speed and accuracy are important. Autocomplete for @usernames and hashtags help you tweet faster
– Direct Messages. The new Direct Message conversation view helps you better keep track of messages.
