2019’s New Twitter Features that will make your Twitter experience easy
Following are the main features Twitter has upgraded to:
New Navigation Features: The Left-Hand Sidebar
The updated experience simplifies navigation with a new, genuinely huge, left-hand sidebar that guides you to the entirety of Twitter’s key segments, like Notifications, Direct Messages, Explore, Bookmarks, Lists and the sky is the limit from there.
Direct Messages Screen
The site now additionally includes a more inbox-like Direct Messages screen to view discussions in a single spot.
Lights Out Modes
The new Twitter now supports prominent dull, Dim and dark Lights Out mode, alongside more options to customize Twitter through various themes and color choices.
Presently, Moments is being minimized to the “More” menu in the redesign — as found in a test running prior this late spring. (More>Moments)
The Explore Feature
Explore will guide clients to more live recordings and customized nearby minutes. This is additionally where you’ll discover Top Trends, while Personalized Trends are included on the right-hand sidebar on the home screen.
Bookmarks in the Navigation Area
Furthermore, Twitter at last brought the more than year-old Bookmarks highlight to the main navigational area.
The Compose Highlight
The new Compose highlight has been somewhat changed also, with choices to incorporate a photograph, GIF, survey or emoticon now all in the base left — with the emoticon button presently swapping in for location button, due to lack of use of the latter.
Advanced Search Filters
Search got an update, also, which puts tabs for moving between “Top,” “Latest,” “People,” “Photos” and “Videos” at the top of the screen, with Advanced Search Filters on right side.
For those with different Twitter accounts, you would now be able to switch between them from the fundamental route.
In any case, the most observable change is the association and format of the Twitter home screen itself.
The Downside is…
…that the new navigation sidebar consumes a lot of browser space. This steals attention from the tweets themselves.
What you can do…
…is that you can make the webpage smaller, which conceals the navigation items’ names, leaving just their symbol, or enlarge tweet font size.
Why the Upgrade to Begin With?
Twitter most likely took this design option to streamline its utilization by progressively easygoing clients and newcomers. The organization has battled with client development since its commencement, changing how it reports metrics to portray its business. Losing your way around the new Twitter is going to be very unlikely now. It’s that simple.
