Twitter now lets you crop and flip photos before posting on Android
The social network of 140 characters continues to evolve. Although it keeps its mechanics and essence intact, it does improve the functions of its official application to be more useful and capable. This time for Twitter users on any Android device, who have seen improved photo editing, in addition to some new details. Issues that seek to avoid the escape to other unofficial applications with a large number of options that already exist in the markets.
This is an update from Twitter for the Android platformwith two strong points in its list of novelties. One of them directly affects photographs And now there are more editing optionsbefore posting them in a tweet or message. Specifically, the possibility has been added to modify its format, respecting its dimensions, cutting it in the shape squarein the purest style Instagram or, if you prefer, creating a horizontal rectangle to center view at a particular point in the image. In addition, these options are extended with the possibility of rotating or flipping the image to put it upside down or upside down, depending on what the user wants.
To do this, all you have to do is start writing a tweet or message and click on the image icon to access the gallery This is presented at the bottom of the screen, thus being able to choose any photo comfortably and without leaving the writing of the message. After choosing it, you just have to edit it with the cut tool and choose any of the three previously mentioned formats, or choose the rotate button to flip it. Along with this, there are still nine filters in the style Instagram to give it a special touch before publishing it. As an extra touch, there are also reminders to mention other users if it is a photo with faces.
The other strong point of the update has to do with the suggestions And that is that they are now inserted directly into the user's timeline or wall In this way, when there are no new tweets to consult but you scroll down the screen to update, suggestions about messages appear , users and topics that are trending or that may be of interest to the user.In addition, and although it is only a function available in United States, the information of TV events, sports or news has been enterednext to these suggestions. A feature that would also be appreciated in Spain, but does not have an arrival date.
In short, an update that tries to enhance the latest application redesign with interesting functions when it comes to sharing and discovering new contents. Something that may not satisfy users who complain about the new arrangement of icons and tabs. In any case, this new version is already available for Android completely free through from Google Play Coming shortly to the iPhone application
