Twitter has started rolling out an update for its iOS app that adds
support for split-screen multitasking, which has been introduced with
iOS 9 for the iPad. Additionally, Twitter's Highlights feature is now
available in over 35 languages, including Hindi.
Apple's iOS 9, the
latest mobile operating system powering its iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices, started rolling
out to users Wednesday. The iOS 9 brings new features including the much-awaited Split View
multitasking to the iPad, offering a split view display of two
side-by-side apps, allows users to view, resize, and interact with both
of them. Twitter is one of the first major apps to add support for this
feature.
The new feature is supported by the iPad Air 2 alongside
new iPad models - iPad mini 4 and iPad Pro. The latest version of
Twitter for iOS, version 6.36.1, started rolling Wednesday via App Store.
iOS 9
users with the new Twitter update can use the micro-blogging website
alongside using other apps such as Safari and Mail. Additionally, the
update now allows users to reply to a tweet mention notifications from
anywhere in iOS via push notification quick replies.
In other
news, Twitter also announced that it is expanding its Highlights feature
to more languages. Initially announced in April, the Highlights feature
was available in English for Android users. Twitter's Highlights
feature offers twice daily summary of the best tweets for a user which
is delivered via rich push notification. It will now be available in all
languages Twitter supports, including Hindi.
"Starting today,
we're extending this experience globally in all 35+ languages that
Twitter supports," said Twitter's Volodymyr Zhabiuk, Senior Software
Engineer, in a blog post.
The micro-blogging site notes that in the coming weeks, people
who have an updated version of Android will automatically start
receiving Highlights notifications. Users however have to make sure that
the notifications are turned on in mobile settings.
"We're
rolling out this experience on Android first and will consider bringing
Highlights to other platforms in the future," added Zhabiuk.
Twitter's
Highlights feature essentially compiles together tweets from accounts
that are popular among people users follow, apart from trending topics
in the area or within network, and people that are popular or trending
among people users follow.
