The folks over at Twitter has just rolled out a rather significant update for its official app for Windows Phone, which would see the introduction of several new features, in addition to offering some minor tweaks. There has been an update made in the app’s Windows Store listing, allowing users to choose a dark theme, in addition to changing timelines so that it depicts a black background that will be in stark contrast to the regular, white background. Of course, one ought to be able to recall that the initial version of Twitter’s Windows Phone app did feature dark as well as light themes, but this feature was disposed off in a February redesign.
Apart from that, custom notifications are also supported, as users are now able to choose accounts that they want to receive Windows Phone toasts whenever tweets are sent. Not only that another major addition would be a lockscreen which will “highlights interesting tweets on your homescreen” while delivering improved search features. Imagine a world of automatic suggestions as well as results which include both users and tweets, and keyword searches can also be pinned to the Start screen. Have you updated your Twitter app for Windows Phone already, and how do you find it?
