Twitter For Android Gets A Major Update

Posted: 04 Nov 2010 09:48 AM PDT


A few months ago, Twitter released their official Twitter application for iPhone and the iPad along with the brand new web UI. Today, the folks over at Twitter released a major update for the official Twitter client for Android. The new update brings many new enhancements like Pull To Refresh and Swipe to Reveal etcetera.

Here is the full change-log from the official Twitter blog –:

*  Tweet details page – We changed the layout of the timeline and introduced a Tweet details page, which you can access by simply clicking on a Tweet. This feature – which is already available in Twitter for iPhone, Twitter for iPad and Twitter for Windows Phone – makes it easier to click on links and reply to, retweet, or favorite a Tweet.

* Speed – The app is now even faster. In this version, we've tried a new way of drawing a timeline of Tweets that optimizes for scrolling speed. Try it out, and you’ll see how much faster and smoother the timeline loads and scrolls.

* Polish – We added some more nice touches to the application as well

* Pull to Refresh – This popular feature, which was first available through our iPhone app, functions just as it sounds – when you're at the top of your timeline, simply pull down to load new Tweets.

* Swipe to Reveal – Swipe across a Tweet to get quick access to several options, such as viewing a user's profile, sharing a tweet, or replying.

* Quote a Tweet – Clicking the retweet icon now gives you the option to quote a Tweet. Of course, you can still retweet as you normally would

* Hi-res avatar photos

The new version of Twitter For Android is already available on the Android market. It will run on devices running Android 2.1 and above.
