It is powered by many new and high-demand features that include new design, functionality improvements and swipe shortcut. The new Twitter app is optimized for Android Ice Cream Sandwich devices. iPhone users will experience updated design of direct messages section. They can also mark messages as unread by tapping a checkbox in the lower righthand corner.

New Features

This feature is only for iPhone. You can copy and paste the text of a tweet and user profiles. Just press and hold to copy.
