Twitter 4.2 and 3.2
Le social network of 140 characters updates its applications for both iPhone as for Android And it is that those of Twitter seem to want to takeboth platforms at the same time, offering the same improvements and new features both in the version 4.2 which can already be installed for iPhone, as for 3.2 available for Android A good option to eliminate rivalry between users of these platforms.
The improvements found in these new versions bring the application for smartphones a little closer to the possibilities offered by theversion web page However, the people of Twitter continue betting on what simple and simple, so these versions are still a long way from what other applications or Twitter customers offer. However, the most frequent users of this social network will appreciate having more information and options in the official application , which, after its redesign, left several functions in the dark.
Thus, it is now possible to explore the environment in a more personal way thanks to the new features in the section DiscoverIt is possible that after the update the user will be asked to allow the use of the location of the user in order to offer closer information. Also, more topics have been added to find out what's happening. Just below this information, a Activity section has been created that shows the tweets marked as favorites , the follows and the retweets made by users those being followed
Without leaving this section, we must also talk about the suggestions of users to follow, which are shown in these new versions in the same way as in the web page In addition, the search system has improved with suggestions for related terms that makes typing quick and easy to search for topics or users. The same occurs in the Connect section, where a autocompletion system has been included so as not to having to write full names or in case the user does not remember them.
The notifications system has also been renewed Now the application not only notifies when the user has been mentioned in a message or tweet, also lets you know if a message has been retweeted or marked as favorite And, even, if the user has new followers Finally, to all this we must add the redesign suffered by the version for iPhone A measure that, according to the specialized media, TechCrunch, could have been promoted to try to return users who left the app after last year's redesign, that was not very well received by all those who used this social network from their mobile phones.
Therefore, it could be said that this is a full update for both platforms, although it is possible to criticize that these functionsthey are nothing newThese are even options that would have been more useful from previous versions of this application, thus avoiding loss of users that have been passed to other unofficial customers with countless other improvements. For all those users who prefer simplicity and have absolute control over all the functions of their account, they can now download Twitter 4.2 for iPhone from iTunes, or the version 3.2 for Android from Google Play
