The app will now look and function like the apps on <a title=\"android\" href=\"http:\/\/en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Android<\/a> and <a title=\"iOS\" href=\"http:\/\/en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the Twitter application for <a title=\"windows phone\" href=\"http:\/\/en.softonic.com\/windows-phone-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Windows Phone<\/a> featured a row of buttons at the bottom for features like the feed and search. The redesign moves the buttons up top to make the experience consistent across all of Twitter&#8217;s mobile apps. There are buttons for Home, Connect, Discover, and Me. This makes your content more easy to find and read. There are also new tweet and search icons so users will be able to start typing a Twitter update or search from anywhere within the app.<\/p>\n<p>The new Twitter app will also support Live Tiles but not in the way you would expect. While apps on Windows Phone and <a title=\"essential guide to windows 8\" href=\"http:\/\/onsoftware.en.softonic.com\/essential-guide-to-windows-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Windows 8<\/a> update with new content from the home screen, this Twitter update doesn&#8217;t actually support that. Instead, Windows Phone users will gain the ability to pin Twitter accounts, lists, and searches to the home screen for quick access. It would be nice to see Twitter update this app to support Live Tile animations in the future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36609\" title=\"combined\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/02\/combined.png\" alt=\"combined\" width=\"600\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/02\/combined.png 600w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/02\/combined-300x145.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To get the latest update, check the Windows Phone Marketplace or click <a title=\"twitter windows phone\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.en.softonic.com\/windows-phone-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a title=\"twitter for windows 8\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.twitter.com\/2013\/02\/an-update-to-twitter-for-windows-phone.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter users on Windows Phone can rejoice today as the official Twitter app has been updated with a complete visual overhaul.
