Twitter is currently working hard on its own appearance and the functionality of the platform. The short message service is currently announcing new features or tests almost every minute. These are the three latest Twitter innovations.

Twitter updates every minute

Twitter is currently working hard to further develop its own platform. In the past few months, the short message service has announced countless innovations. For example, the service changed the image section in the timeline because the algorithm worked with prejudice.

But Twitter has also worked hard when it comes to monetization for creators and, for example, launched the paid Super Follows. However, this does not seem to mean that the short message service has reached the end of its innovative capabilities.

Twitter is testing labels for bots

Automated messages from bots are not always recognizable as such for everyone. The question often arises as to which content can really be trusted and which cannot. Twitter now wants to change that and is testing labels for “good bots”.

We’re making it easier to identify #GoodBots and their automated tweets with new labels.

With this, the short message service wants to provide its users with more transparency. You should be able to better distinguish such good bots from spam bots.

Fall under according to Twitter including automated accounts for vaccination appointments or disaster early warning systems. The test is initially intended for “a limited number” of accounts that the short message service has invited.

Twitter wants to promote conversations with communities

With the abundance of accounts on Twitter, things can quickly become confusing. Twitter is now testing a new chat function that will make it easier for like-minded people to find each other and chat.

In the Twitter communities, users should be given the opportunity to “simply find people who would like to exchange ideas about the same things,” explains Product Manager David Regan in a blog post.

There has always been a wide, weird, and wonderful range of conversation on Twitter, but we haven’t done enough to connect people who are interested in the same things.

If a moderator starts a community, he can first define a thematic focus and rules and invite other accounts.

It sounds like a normal Facebook group at first, but it’s public. Only invited users can participate in the conversation. The tweets are still publicly visible.

More visual power for the timeline

In the past few months, Twitter has changed a few things in terms of how photos and videos are displayed in the timeline. For example, photos are no longer cropped as heavily as they were before.

Now there is even more space for pictures and videos. With the representation in edge-to-edge format, the short message service now looks a little more like Instagram. But that should hardly bother the users inside.
