Twitter would be preparing a new design for its application
For a few weeks Twitter has followed in the footsteps of its competitor Facebook and has launched a test platform A community where users who so wished could sign up as betatesters or test subjects, who would have access to new versions of the application with pioneering features, before they reach the general public. Thanks to this platform, today it is possible to know that Twitter could have in mind a radical change in appearanceof your apps for smartphones
This information is known thanks to the latest beta version or test version launched by Twitter for your betatesters of the platform Android A completely different version of seen so far in the smartphones, and that gives a twist to this social network, at least visually. Thus, it modifies the lines and even colors seen so far to present a different organization, more similar to what is seen in the tools of Google, where there is always apopup menu from the left side of the screen.
In this way, this menu stands out, which includes the different sections of what would be the new application of Twitter The difference is that substituting the blue color of the menus, such as background would display the user's cover image.In addition, the sections have multiplied, leaving behind the menus Connect, Discover, Home and Profile to directly offer more specific sections: Notifications, messages, activity, trends, find people and me (profile).
The same happens with the main screen, from where it is possible to see the timeline or wall and access all these new-old sections just by sliding your finger, in the purest style Holo They have also undergone a facelift. Betting on comfort and readability, the lines and designs are more clean and simple, showing each tweet or message are boxes or outlines. Only accompanied by the image of the user who publishes it and by the classic buttons to retweet, answeror do favorite This avoids a step when having to access said message to share it on the wall.
However, not all are positive changes. Because it is a trial version, its functionality is not fine-tuned, finding a good number of bugs and problems technical problems in its use. Precisely why these versions are released to a limited list of users who should experience with it first.
This design change is just one of experiments that Twitteris carrying out to improve its tools and functions. And, if we pay attention to their official blog, their test platform has been created to improve and discover what not to do with your social network. They also argue that it is possible that the improvements and functions seen in this platform will not reach all users, so this design change could only be one more test to see if a facelift would improve the app's usability.We will have to wait and see if Twitter finally launches an update for the platform Android with this new design.
