The latest version of Twitter's mobile apps were designed to make tweeting -- and sharing photos -- easier than ever.
Twitter today released new versions of its iOS and Android apps intended to make tweeting easier than ever, and that sharing photos has become a far better and quicker experience.
In a blog post, Twitter said it tweaked its apps in a number of ways. Most prominently, it said that it is now faster than ever to tweet a photo, and that when a user wants to add a picture to their tweet, they'll now see a full preview of that image, rather than a cropped version. At the same time, Twitter said, sharing a photo from an iOS or Android camera roll requires simply clicking the photo icon on the bottom right corner of the tweet box.
Another new addition is giving users a better feel for how their tweet will appear by letting them see their avatar and username while they're composing. Plus, for those users with multiple accounts, they can select which to use by tapping on the avatar for that account.
Twitter also said it has made it simpler than ever to add or remove users' locations from tweets, and that it has given Android users a deeper set of notifications. Finally, it has removed the borders around timelines in the iOS version of Twitter so that tweets fill the screen.
