Loading upward the app and heading into settings we find a surfeit of new and welcomed changes, including the much coveted "dark" theme. While the default light theme was always precipitous looking, dark (forth with that Twitter category bar at the superlative) looks especially elegant.

The lockscreen feel is especially interesting as information technology take a snapshot of a Tweet and any photo that is accompanied by it and adds it to a prefabbed layout. With the design, y'all tin can clearly come across your time and detailed information, but you as well get a glimpse of what we imagine is a pop Tweet i.e. information technology'southward been retweeted a lot by others.
