New Twitter PWA update released - June 4th, 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

Multiple Accounts: Users can now quickly switch between multiple accounts and view notification counts for all logged in accounts. Our Help Center has instructions on how to get it set up.

Quote Tweet: You can now add images and GIFs when quoting a tweet. Previously, if you wanted to Retweet with a comment you could only use text.

Moment Maker: You can now access and create moments from your profile’s Moments page.

Updated

Media Gallery: When opening the photo gallery, photos will now show up immediately, and the full-resolution will load after. This should make it feel much more responsive, especially on slower, cellular connections. Users of data saver will now not load the full-resolution, allowing them to view the uncropped version or zoom on it without consuming additional data.

Events: Added “Up Next” functionality on Event pages, now videos associated with the Event will play one after each other.

PWA: Improved the resolution of the PWA app icon, made it look better on certain Android devices.

Codebase: Reworked how linking is handled throughout the app, done through a team-wide Hackday. This change is largely invisible, but should improve the responsiveness of certain links.

Security: We’ve updated our Two-Factor Auth to use FIDO2 WebAuthn protocol, which allows support for more browsers and authenticators while also retaining all of the phishing resistant capabilities security key-based 2FA provides. Only hardware keys are currently supported, with additional support coming later.

Fixed

Direct Messages: Fixed an issue where high resolution photos would always fail to send in DMs

Events: Events with long names now truncate much more nicely

Bug: Some click/press confusion within the App has been fixed
