"Twitter has announced a major update to its iOS\u00A0and Android apps, adding the ability to share photos over Direct Message and swipe between timelines to access the Home, Activity and Discover tabs. We're seeing the new iOS version already, but the Android update is still rolling out to the Google Play store.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOther changes to the app include easier access to DMs, an option to only view interactions from people you follow, and more direct navigation from search results. You\u2019ll also be able to save articles to Safari\u2019s Reading List.\r\n\r\nAdding photos to DMs is a mobile-only feature for now, though you will be able to view the images from Twitter.com on your desktop.\r\n\r\nWith the move, Twitter takes an important step toward the\u00A0mobile messaging trend\u00A0that has given rise to services like Whatsapp and Snapchat. The DM feature has long been buried within the app in order to make it harder for users to accidentally tweet something they meant to send privately, but today's update finally gives messaging a prominent place on the app's homescreen.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Twitter for iOS\u00A0| Android\r\n\r\nPhoto credit:\u00A0Justin Sullivan/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
