An update to Twitter for Windows Phone

Today we’re introducing a new version of Twitter for Windows Phone. In addition to a new design, which brings the app in line with other Twitter apps, this update includes several features that make it easier for you to discover and share the content that matters to you.

New navigation. Four new tabs – Home, Connect, Discover and Me – bring you closer to the things you care about.

  • Home: View Tweets from the accounts you follow; tap a Tweet to expand it and see more content, such as photos, videos and website summaries
  • Connect: Keep up with your mentions; see who has followed you or retweeted or favorited one of your Tweets
  • Discover: See trends, and find new content on Twitter –– browse categories, find friends on Twitter and see suggestions for accounts to follow
  • Me: Read and respond to your direct messages; see your lists, favorites and more; view and update your profile

Tweet and search icons. Compose a Tweet or search from anywhere in the app, using the new icon buttons in the Application Bar.

Live tiles. Pin Twitter accounts, lists and searches to your start screen, giving you quick access to some of your favorite Twitter content.

Get it now to experience the best Twitter app yet on your Windows Phone.
