New Twitter Apps — All new design for Twitter's mobile apps

Last year, we told you exactly who we are (Twitter is what’s happening!) and refreshed our brand. Today, with lots of feedback and ideas from you, we’re refreshing our product too and making it feel lighter, faster, and easier to use.

Shouldn't the title be "New New New New Twitter"? 😋
Brad Brooks
Yeah, I'm not seeing this yet either. I'm in the UK. Can I just say I *hate* phased rollouts? I know why they're done but that doesn't make them suck any less.

I don't understand how a few small design tweaks is helping Twitter become profitable. And seeing it celebrated is frustrating to see as a company shareholder.
Daniel Kaplan
So, I like a nice looking design update as much as the next person, but how does this deal in any way with Twitter's underlying structural issues? Does the leadership think user and revenue growth have stalled because of the apps had an outdated typeface and square avatars? I love Twitter. I really want it to be successful. But some well considered UI and UX tweaks seen a bit like rearranging Herman Miller chairs in the tech office equivalent of the Titanic.

@dankaplan yup. it's a new coat of paint for the bike shed

The UI on the Apps is a nice refreshment. The desktop website however, is seriously lacking. It feels rougher than before and seriously unfinished.

And for the things you didn’t, we took a new approach to fix and make better." https://blog.twitter.com/officia... Can´t wait to try it out!

TweetDeck is the product I use the most to communicate on Twitter... And I have some feedback regarding the same. I can get used to the new icons but please add more space between the action buttons. There is enough empty space to better separate the action buttons like on Twitter mobile app. Also, bring mute filtering to Lists as some of us use Lists as Timelines. Also revert the search behavior on TweetDeck. I find it hard to believe that people like getting new columns for every search they conduct on TweetDeck. Peace!

Meh. I would have liked them handle better ways of following all the sub-threads within a conversation.
Jim Lyons
Liking the new look!
Jeremy Martin
I like the new aesthetic from a UI perspective; I'm only hoping the minimal emphasis given to actual tweets in the screenshots doesn't translate to the new UX as a whole. 🤞

Few words bring me as much joy as the words "New Twitter" 🙌
Jason Hitchcock
yay. new icons, circular photos, and more accurate RT numbers. That's what we needed. that's what twitter needed.

Important note for those on iPads. The new version does not have Safari support like the iPhone does. You'll get the new design, but websites will still open in the custom browser tab.
Maksim Petriv
Seems like even updating to new app version doesn't switch to new UI. A/B Testing or forgot to flip the switch?
Ben Guild
@talkaboutdesign yeah I downloaded it as well and it's still the old one. I'm wondering if it has to do with locale
Thanasis
@talkaboutdesign Same thing here, updated and opened the app and still no change!
Andy Piper
@tnsrig @talkaboutdesign it will roll out over the next few hours - patience! :-)
Bruno Lemos
@andypiper it's weird because the update description is about the new UI and v7.0. EDIT: Got it!
Hayden Evans
Somewhat of an improvement, has a long way to go to convince me to switch from Tweetbot though.
Stowe Boyd
Where is it?

So basically, they took the"Me" button and moved it to the side. Now there are 4 buttons on the bottom, instead of 5. I like the round avatar windows. Round is the new square.
Adam Pokornicky
Much cleaner feel. I like it. For me, I know everyone has different things they wish twitter would improve but I use "Lists" aggressively to have clean feeds and follow different topics. It seems like they addressed it by making lists easier to access from side nav but seems like the easier UX tweek would be to have a dropdown for lists from the bird at the top of our feed. One button to move between lists/feeds.
Jeremy Bauer
@callmethebear I'm also a huge Lists user. I'm really glad they've made getting to Lists easier, but I would like Lists to have its own icon in the main app view. Or for a long press on the Home icon to bring up the Lists menu. I feel like it kind of makes sense since Lists are like alternate, customized Home feeds.
James U
I'm getting the same issue of an update in iOS but not seeing the new UI. Is it good?
Ryan Hoover
The new design feels cleaner. Perhaps the greatest addition: "Links to articles and websites now open in Safari’s viewer in the Twitter app so you can easily access accounts on websites you’re already signed into.*" Note that they moved the profile button to the top left, leaving 4 main navigation buttons at the bottom and room for one more. What might they add? I'd bet on a "TV" button. 🤔
Wilhem Pujar
@rrhoover I'd bet on a rocket icon.
Dan Matthews
@rrhoover thank god! The "whoops you're out of free articles" is one of the worst notifications.
Alex Bauer
@rrhoover unfortunately that benefit is about to disappear in iOS 11...I wrote about it a bit here: https://blog.branch.io/what-the-...
