Today we’re introducing new versions of Twitter for iPhone and iPad for iOS 7, with a refreshed design that looks and works great on iOS 7. The update is also compatible with iOS 6 and iOS 5.
You can download this update from the App Store.
In addition to these updates for Twitter for iPhone and iPad, there are some new features on iOS 7 that make Twitter easier to use and more enjoyable:
- In the Music app, you can discover music that’s trending on Twitter through the Twitter #music station on iTunes Radio.
- Siri now searches Twitter, helping you find Tweets about topics or people.
- In Safari, use Shared Links to enjoy links that have been tweeted by the people you follow.
As in previous versions of iOS, iOS 7 supports several other integrations with Twitter:
- Signing up for and signing into Twitter from your iPhone or iPad’s Settings app
- Sharing web pages, photos, and more on Twitter directly from built-in apps like Safari and Photos and 3rd party apps such as Everlapse and Frontback.
- Updating your Contacts app with @usernames of people you’re connected to
