The Twitter app for Android and iOS devices has been updated to version 3.3 and 4.3 respectively. One of the biggest additions to the app is content previews. Tweets with links are expanded to give the reader a better glimpse at the content, similar to how Twitter shows previews for images. The app will now show snippets from Etsy, Kickstarter, Vimeo, and others. Notifications have also been improved. Users now have the option to get a notification whenever a certain twitter user tweets. The search and autocomplete have also gotten improvements and the iOS version of the app now has a better layout to track hashtags.
The Twitter blog states, “Since we introduced expanded Tweets on twitter.com, we’ve added several new partners like MLB and C-SPAN to a diverse and growing list of media sources. Starting today, you can also expand Tweets on Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for Android. When you tap a Tweet linking to a Kickstarter project, for example, you can play its video directly from the Tweet details view in your app. You can also read article summaries when you tap Tweets linking to sources like The Atlantic or play videos or view images when you expand Tweets linking to websites like Etsy and Vimeo. This new experience will roll out gradually to web, iPhone and Android users.”
