Twitter started rolling out the redesign for its web version and very soon you will be switched to it automatically. In case, the new design of Twitter is not updated for you; then you can do that manually by clicking the “Take a Look” option available on the right side of the Twitter account.
Unfortunately, this time, the company decided not to provide the option “Legacy twitter-like” which was available during the testing phase. It means once the new layout is available for you, then there is no way back if you’re not impressed with it after testing.
The company on its official blog announced that soon the new layout of the Twitter.com would be available for users all across the globe. Here’s a quick overview of what’s new in the Twitter new design.
- It is more comfortable to navigate and offer a more personalized look
- ‘Explore’ feature now available for the Twitter web version. Now you will see more videos, moments and trending content in your region.
- ‘Bookmark’ feature is similar to the one available in the web browser. You can now bookmark your favorite tweets.
- You will able to check conversations and send messages right from a single view.
- Support multiple Twitter account. Add more than one account and switch between them.
In case, you already get the updated layout of the Twitter, and you’re not impressed with it, then fortunately there’ a quick workaround using which you can switch back to old twitter.com UI on desktop.
