Brink · Mar 26, 2019

See what's happening on the Twitter PWA. View new changes and fixes for mobile.twitter.com, Twitter for Windows, Twitter for KaiOS, and Twitter Lite on Android. We're constantly working to make the Twitter PWA a world-class experience, and we hope you enjoy reading about our work!

New

Windows: Some users may see a new design we are testing out. Read more here: https://twitter.com/m7z/status/1107759753101373440?s=20

Translations: Translations are now powered by Google, they can also be re-hidden after being shown

A11Y: Added a “skiplink” to jump to the main content and sidebar from the start of the page

Updated

Profile: Changed from a settings icon to a kebab menu icon on profile pages since that menu has more than just profile settings.

Profile: We no longer truncate the account name on the profile page to allow parody accounts to be easier to identify

Profile: You can now click on a profile’s header image to see the full image

Profile: Follower and Following pages now have tabs to easily switch between them

Profile: Background color of avatars are now shown while they are loading

Compose: Sending tweets with large JPEG images should now be faster; we apply the same compressions we do server-side, but before uploading saving data and speeding the whole process up!

A11Y: Quoted tweets are now read out in screen readers when reading the parent tweet using j/k

Bookmarks: There’s now an option to clear all your bookmarks at once

Fixed

App: Improved performance around displaying profiles and users, in particular when composing a tweet

Windows: Should no longer render not-found errors for certain links (e.g. password reset)

Windows: Fixed an issue where the main content would sometimes appear to be blurry on certain devices

Images: Transparent PNGs should now not have a background color

Notifications: Mentions timeline should update much more frequently when returning to the page

New Twitter PWA update - February 26th 2019

See what's happening on the Twitter PWA. View new changes and fixes for mobile.twitter.com, Twitter for Windows, Twitter for KaiOS, and Twitter Lite on Android. We're constantly working to make the Twitter PWA a world-class experience, and we hope you enjoy reading about our work!

New

Timeline: The chronological timeline switch is now on for web! Click the ✨ at the top of your timeline to get your tweets in chronological order (or switch to the algorithmic timeline). We will eventually switch you back to the algorithmic tweets after a while, but if you keep switching we’ll wait longer before changing it back.

Navigation (widescreen): We changed the icon for Explore from a into a #⃣. When in widescreen mode, there’s a search field on the screen, and having one for Explore and another for search was confusing.

Updated

Internationalization: Enabled our beta language support for Irish, Galician, Basque and Urdu.

Emoji: DM Groups and List titles now use Twemoji rather than native OS emoji for more reliable rendering

Fixed

App: There was a somewhat rare, almost impossible to reproduce, situation with UTF-8 character encoding that was causing the app to crash when loading. All files are now serving with proper encoding. Sorry Peru

Events: Events that are not found show a not found error instead of the generic ‘Try Again’

DMs: The thing where the text input wouldn’t have focus when entering a DM conversation is better

Internationalization: Corrected the display of numbers and Tweet action icons (e.g. “55 Retweets”) in languages that read right to left.

Accessibility: The screen reader reads the Tweet when navigating the timeline with J/K keyboard shortcuts. Including the number of Replies, Likes, and Retweets. Ratios for everyone!

Accessibility: Social proof (e.g. "@Twitter Retweeted") now reads properly with screen readers

Accessibility: Improved handling of screen magnification

Accessibility: Added an aria label to the ‘promoted’ marker so the screen reader can tell when the Tweet is an ad
