The preview cards allow expanded tweets to show snippets of an article with a thumbnail. The updated Card previews will show more information, even for products. Retailers can now highlight the price, location, and rating of an item. There is still support for photo galleries and app store links.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to expanding Card content, Twitter has updated its mobile web version reflect the change. The most notable upgrade is for <a title=\"android twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Android<\/a>, which saw a complete redesign which follows Google&#8217;s &#8220;Holo&#8221; design standards. Android users can now swipe from left to right to access the Connect, Discover, and Profile tabs. Tweets utilize space better, taking up the entire width of the screen. The font of the app has also changed to use Android&#8217;s custom &#8220;Roboto&#8221; font. Tapping and holding a tweet will also pull up options to reply, retweet, favorite, and share.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38589\" title=\"twitter update\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/04\/twitter-update.png\" alt=\"twitter update\" width=\"640\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/04\/twitter-update.png 640w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/04\/twitter-update-300x249.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Twitter for Android also plays nicely with other apps installed on your phone.
