After nearly two years without an update, Twitter has finally released a significant update to their official Mac app, adding Retina display support, significantly improved photo sharing, support for additional languages, a newly redesigned compose window, and more.
From the Twitter blog:
Today we’re announcing a few improvements to Twitter for Mac:
- Photos: It’s easier than ever to share photos. Simply click the camera icon in the lower-left corner of the Tweet compose box, and choose a photo to share. If you prefer, you can still drag and drop photos from the desktop.
- Retina display support: Now Twitter is even more vibrant and detailed on the highest resolution Mac notebooks. With this update, Tweets will be clearer and sharper, creating a more vivid experience.
- 14 more languages: In addition to English, Twitter for Mac now supports Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish.
Along with these updates, Twitter for Mac offers keyboard shortcuts, support for multiple accounts and timelines, and other features that you’ve come to love.
In addition, Twitter notes that there are more improvements to the app in the works, and Twitter for Mac tech lead Ben Sandofsky notes that he will be taking a break from Twitter’s iOS app to put more focus on Twitter for Mac. That’s great news for fans of the app – and a sure sign that it won’t take another two years to see the next update!
P.S. I’m taking a break from iOS to work on Twitter for Mac full time.
