- View anyone’s photos in a beautiful gallery when you visit their profile and tap ‘View more photos’
- Photo search results can also be viewed in a gallery.
- Enjoy several improvements to lists: create new lists and edit your existing lists; manage titles and descriptions; add or remove members.
- Improved launch performance
- Other bug fixes and improvements.
The new optional login verification lets you approve login requests directly from your mobile app. This is separate from the SMS-based login verification that Twitter released in May and lets you verify logins without relying on text messages. This new login verification system has the following advantages according to Twitter
- No phone number required: By using push messaging and in-application approvals, you no longer need to provide your phone number to use login verification. If you manage multiple Twitter accounts, but only have one phone number, you can now opt all of them into login verification.
- Broader international support: Now, all you need is an Internet connection and one of Twitter’s supported apps to enroll in login verification. Login verification via SMS has been available through supported mobile carriers across the world, but that didn’t cover everybody.
- Backup codes generated in the application can be written down, stored in a safe place, and used to access your account on twitter.com even if you lose your phone.
- More context: When a login request is made, you will see browser details and approximate location in the app. If you receive an approval request from halfway across the world, you may be getting phished.
