Twitter New Update Stops Disappearing Tweets

Social media giant Twitter has updated its iOS app to stop tweets from disappearing while users are still reading them.

The new update by Twitter was to halt the frustrating experience users go through when tweets disappear from view as users read them as the timeline automatically refreshes.

“We’ve made some updates on iOS to prevent Tweets from disappearing mid-read. Now when you pause your timeline scrolling to look at a tweet, it should stay put,” Twitter outlined in a tweet.

The new update is available to Twitter web and iOS platforms. Twitter notes that it’s working on making changes to the disappearing Tweet experience on Android too, but it’s unknown when the updates will roll out.

Twitter has also recently announced that it will no longer automatically crop image previews on the web, after rolling out full-size image previews on mobile earlier this year. Twitter made the announcement on a support page on Tuesday and disclosed that it is testing the change because it wants to better support conversations that are both visual and text-based.
