Windows 10: New Twitter PWA update released - February 26, 2021

Brink · Feb 28, 2021

New

Fleets: Weâre beginning to support Fleets on Twitter.com! Weâll be starting with an experiment enabling consumption of Fleets within DMs. Keep an eye out for additional functionality as it becomes available.

Newsletters: Look for the new Newsletters menu item under the More button to discover other ways of reaching your audience through Revue! Learn more here.

Updated

DMs: We will now properly add interstitials to Tweets shared in DMs which have been marked as sensitive content.

Hover Labels: Weâve continued rolling out hover labels to more components! Look for them on buttons, sliders, Tweet actions, lists, and more.

Night Mode: We've made some improvements to dark mode, and some users might have been reverted to the default light theme due to an inconsistent state. You can update your Display setting to correct this inconsistency. The default dark mode is now Lights Out, and you can still switch back to Dim in your settings.

Fixed

Accessibility: J and K keyboard navigation on timelines will now focus visible items instead of content youâve scrolled away from. Weâve also made improvements to maintaining your position and focus when youâve navigated away from a timeline and then return.

Accessibility: Text within misinformation nudges will now be correctly read out by screen readers.

Browser: Fixed an issue where Firefox on iOS was showing as an unsupported browser.

DMs: Profile bio text will now be properly centered within DM conversations.

DMs: Deleting conversations in your low quality inbox will no longer jump you into your primary inbox.

DMs: Removed unnecessary scrollbars in the DM Reaction summary popover.

DM Drawer: Fixed layout and legibility issues with certain tombstones within the DM drawer.

Home Timeline: Resolved issues with the Home button and period keyboard shortcut not taking you to the top of the home timeline.

Lists: Corrected discrepancies in verbiage when viewing List membership.

Tabs: Fixed an issue where you were unable to scroll through all tabs when using right-to-left languages.

Timelines: Resolved problems with popover menus resetting scroll positions in odd ways.

Timelines: Fixed instances of the Retry button failing to properly retry requests on Explore and Topics timelines.

Tweets: Clicking âViewâ on a Quote Tweet that has an interstitial will now reveal the quoted Tweet inline instead of taking you to the conversation screen.

Video: Corrected instances where the video player volume slider exceeded the height of the player, and would disappear during mouse over.

I think the PWA and the Store app linked here are two different things. Am I wrong?

In the linked Store app, I get "Windows app version 6.1.4" at Settings, About Twitter.

But in the PWA I installed from Edge that does not appear.

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
