At the very beginning, Twitter portal was mainly used to provide information in the fastest available way and discussions between users. Over time, this website has evolved into a typical social networking site - the limit of characters in one statement has been increased from 140 to 280, and a stronger emphasis has been placed on the development of applications in terms of multimedia. This trend is continued by Twitter in the new update for the mobile application.
The large update is mainly based on changes in the aspect of photos and videos. After updating the application, we will be able to use the camera module that will allow for taking photos and creating live broadcasts directly from Twitter application. The application will allow also for modification of photos or recordings thanks to special filters. To open the camera module in the application, all you need to do is swipe your finger from the left while on the main Twitter's page. In the aspect of live broadcasts, Twitter uses builds of Periscope application which was earlier developed by the same company, and the similarity of new live broadcasts in Twitter app after the upgrade to Periscope are not accidental.
