While many different apps were updated on
Wednesday, September 18 to follow in sync with the
public release of iOS 8, some companies waited, like
Twitter. The company has officially updated their
social networking app, though, to take advantage of
some iOS 8 features, and put a bigger focus on
profiles.
The update was detailed via their public blog, and
dives into the new profiles that will be displayed in the
iOS Twitter app from here on out, as long as you’re on
iOS 7 or later. With the new profiles, it’s all about the
content, with the user’s bio right there on the front
screen, and no longer a swipe away. On top of that,
you’ll also see more prominent displays of tweets sent,
and pictures uploaded to the network.
“You can see a bio as soon as you get to the profile
— it’s no longer a swipe away. The timelines for
Tweets, photos and favorites are easy to get to, and
you can access them from wherever you are in that
profile. “
As a final note, Twitter also mentions (as if it’s just a
passing piece of functionality) that Twitter for iOS 8
now supports interactive notifications. So, if you use
the stock Twitter app, you’ll now be able to Reply,
Retweet, Follow, Favorite and more right from the push
notification you’ll receive on your device.
