14 DAY TRIAL // Shortly after releasing a new version of Twitter for BlackBerry devices, other than those powered by the latest OS 10, the Canadian company announced Twitter for BlackBerry 10 had been updated with lots of new features and improvements.
First of all, it is worth mentioning that Twitter for BlackBerry is one of the low-rated apps in the BlackBerry World. The application has only one star, but with the new update BlackBerry hopes to improve things.
Most of the changes included in this major update for Twitter for BlackBerry 10 have been detailed on the company's blog site. Check them out below:
- Doing more on the Compose Tweet Screen – An enhanced Compose Tweet Screen allows you to take a new photo or add an existing one, add your location, and offers a shortcut for “@”;
- Composing Direct Messages – It’s now easier for you to compose a Direct Message – you can do it right from the “Me” tab within the app. Viewing Direct Messages from your contacts is also available in the BlackBerry Hub;
- Edit Profile – You can now edit your profile picture, header, and details from your BlackBerry 10 smartphone;
- Conversation view – You’ll see full conversation history when clicking on a tweet;
- Improved Image Viewing – You can now view pic.twitter.com full screen images, as well as pinch to zoom and pan images from the tweet details. Also, you can view full screen profile pictures from other Twitter users;
- Deleting Tweets – You are now able to delete your own tweets from any screen where their tweet is displayed. It’s as simple as holding down on a tweet and selecting the trash icon;
- Block and Report as Spam – Block and report users as spam;
- Enhanced Menu – Do more from the timeline, with new options to “Quote Tweet” after selecting “Retweet” as well as “Open Tweet” to view the tweet details page.
Twitter 10.0.1 is now available as a free download via BlackBerry World and it should be fully compatible with all devices running BlackBerry 10.
