Twitter rolled out a new update on Monday for iOS that includes new features to enhance the user experience on iPhones and iPads.
The updates include interactive notifications that let users continue to engage on the social media platform while using other apps. If you get a notification for a new message while in another app, the updated notification feature makes a box appear, which allows you to favorite the tweet or reply without being taken out of the open app.
While the updates are small, they will certainly save time when composing or responding to tweets. Along with the ability to respond to tweets from other apps, Twitter has also added a button for its mobile app that allows easy access to saved drafts while composing a tweet. The button is in the form of a quill icon, located to the right of the user's avatar. Tap on the button to bring up a list of saved tweets.
It may be easier to tweet from an iPhone, but that doesn't mean the social platform will keep your tweet in case of possible copyright infringement. Twitter has begun to take down tweets after some users complained that their jokes were being lifted and re-posted without due credit. The tweets have been replaced with copyright notices, informing the user that the tweet is being withheld.
"Twitter will respond to reports of alleged copyright infringement, such as allegations concerning the unauthorized use of a copyrighted image as a profile photo, header photo, or background, allegations concerning the unauthorized use of a copyrighted video or image uploaded through our media hosting services, or Tweets containing links to allegedly infringing materials," Twitter's policy page reads.
In other Twitter-related news, the company is scheduled to report its earnings Tuesday evening. Twitter's earnings report in April revealed the stock dropped 25 percent after earnings were leaked early. Twitter is expected to announce a new CEO during the fourth quarter, with the hopes of turning the tide.
The new mobile update is available to download for iOS on iTunes.
