Twitter Updates Mobile App, Enhances Search And Web Browsing



Twitter has improved the Search tab on iOS and Android devices, as well as on mobile.twitter.com. Improvements to web browsing and the autocomplete suggestions feature on iOS devices have also been made.

Results in the search tab will now be headed by a “Top Tweet” which, according to Twitter’s announcement post, is “the best match for your query based on relevance and engagement”.

Two further improvements have been made to applications on Apple devices: when a link is opened, the tweet containing it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen and the number of autocomplete suggestions has been increased.

[The improvement to web browsing] provides additional context to the page you’re viewing, and makes it easy for you to retweet, favorite or reply to the Tweet as you’re reading an article or watching a video.

To close the tweet, simply tap the page or pull down the tray icon. Pulling up the tray icon will reveal the tweet.

As users compose tweets, more hashtag, topic and username autocomplete suggestions will be displayed. The suggestions for trending topics will also be updated more frequently.

The Search tab’s autocomplete has also been improved and support for traditional Chinese has been added.

What do you think of the updated Twitter app?
