Twitter Lite is a new mobile Twitter web experience built with slow networks in mind

Image
Twitter is launching a new mobile Twitter experience built as a Progressive Web App.  Google has been touting PWA for many months, culminating in the latest announcement that they would behave like native apps, which is exactly what Twitter Lite is built around. Lite is a browser "app" meaning it doesn't need to be downloaded on your phone, it's just easily accessible at mobile.twitter.com, with additional features available only to compatible browsers on Android. The aim is for the page to be light, load quickly, and consume little data so that it's fast and responsive even on slow 2G connections. There's also a more extreme data saver mode that only previews images and videos in a blurry state to reduce consumption and let you choose specifically which ones you want to load. On Android where it can behave as a PWA, Twitter Lite can also be added as an icon to the homescreen, it can send you push notifications, and work offline when your connection ...

Usernames no longer count against the 140 character limit on Twitter

Image
There was some consternation last year as rumors swirled that Twitter was set to drop its long-standing 140-character limit.  The company ended up keeping the limit, but it's been working to make sure you can actually use all 140-characters. For example, Twitter decreed a while back that photos and videos no longer count against the limit. Now, it's doing the same for usernames. Finally.  To understand why this is a big deal, consider the following scenario: You reply to someone on Twitter, then a different person jumps in with a reply, and another person replies after that. Through no fault of your own, you'd now have to reply to three usernames if you want to continue including everyone in the conversation. That could easily take up half the 140 character limit, but those don't count at all anymore. Twitter will only count the text you add to the tweet in the 140-character limit. The official app will list the @names above the tweet for clarity, and tha...

Twitter announces new tools for filtering, muting, and reducing harassment

Image
Twitter has always been a little more... unregulated than other social networks,  but it's gotten a bit more toxic in the last year or two. The company has today announced some tools that could make it more tolerable. Twitter will proactively tackle abusive behavior even when it's not reported, and the app will gain some new tools to make it easier to sweep unpleasant tweets under the virtual rug. The Twitter app will soon gain much more robust notification options. These advanced filters support ignoring pings from accounts without an avatar, phone number, or verified email. That should cut down on spam. Muting will be more powerful as well with the ability to block Tweets that include certain words or phrases for as long as you want. You can also choose to only mute those tweets from people you don't follow. When you report content on Twitter for harassment, the app will now be aware of those reports. The notification tab will alert you when reports have been re...

Twitter for Android Has added GIF keyboard support

Image
One of the more notable features of Android 7.1 is the ability for keyboards to directly insert GIFs into an application.  However, both the keyboard and target application have to be updated to handle the new functionality. Thankfully, Twitter has now done so with version 6.33.0-beta.556. To use this feature, you will need a compatible keyboard (like Gboard), a device running Android 7.1 or later, and the latest Twitter beta release. Once you have all that, inserting GIFs should come up as an option on the keyboard.    Just like the existing GIF button in the Twitter app, this works with both tweets and DMs. I expect this will arrive in the non-beta Twitter app with the next update.

Twitter Introduces QR feature Snapchat feature

One of the more exceptional components of Snapchat is the capacity to produce QR codes for your record. When you have the Snapchat application open, you can essentially hold your camera over another client's code (or select the code from your neighborhood pictures), and right away include them as a companion.

Furthermore, you can choose a picture from your neighborhood photographs to examine. I'm not certain what number of individuals are really ...
