Just a few hours ago Apple’s Twitter for iPhone app got a huge major update moving to the version 4.1 . The change log is for the iPhone only as was specified in the update history and here is the change log :

  • Swipe Shortcut
  • Copy and paste for tweets and profiles.
  • Introduction of Press and Hold actions on link in tweet details.
  • Direct Message improvements.
  • Confirmation Alert for Find Friends.
  • Improvement in the image quality in tweet detail.
  • Improved start-up time and increase in general performance.
  • Profile now shows whether a user follows you or not which is very appreciable change.
  • Improvements in accessibility.
  • Verified badges are now visible in people search results.
  • Added support for Turkish language.
  • interface polishing along with misc bug fixes.
I’m a regular user of this app and recently found many crashes in the app, along with some even leading to springboard crash and with this huge update, I believe they may have eliminated those bugs. Rest apart, all the changes brought were totally desirable and now I believe Tweetbot again faces a tough competition .
