Tweet a photo, pray you don't get hacked!
Last week it was pointed out that in the latest Twitter update, the implementation of two-factor verification that we mentioned here, was less than solid. Now, as opposed to working to solve these issues, the company instead concentrates on its latest mobile apps updates.
Today Misha Lushin of Twitter announces that the social network has "just released updates to our iPhone and Android apps. Tweeting is now even easier and more seamless".
Now when customers add a photo to the Tweet, they will see a full preview of that photo, not just the cropped version. Customers can also add photos more easily from the camera roll by simply clicking the photo icon on the bottom right corner of the Tweet box.
The company also adds that, when a customer composes a Tweet, he or she will see their avatar and username to give a better sense of how the Tweet will actually appear. In addition, it is now easier to select an account by tapping an avatar, as well as promising richer notifications and the removal of the borders around timelines.
The updates are very nice, but not a single one will prevent a customer from being hacked. Let us hope these are better vetted than last week's update. Perhaps next Twitter may focus its energy on that little problem.
