Twitter update fixes DM problems

[vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]

Twitter updated its array of apps last night to solve one of the most irritating problems that people who use Twitter on more than one device will no doubt have experienced. According to Twitter the “coordinated update for seven different apps: Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, twitter.com, mobile.twitter.com and TweetDeck.” brings with it the ability  to synchronise the ‘read’ status of direct messages across all of the platforms meaning that you won’t have to read a DM on multiple platforms again.

Twitter explained the feature:

When you read a DM on your Android phone or iPhone, it will be marked as read in your browser, your desktop apps, or your tablet. And vice versa. Please note that syncing will roll out gradually: you’ll need to get the latest version of each app to ensure it works on all of your devices.

Also in the update are improved search results and a new ‘Who to follow’ button that will give users recommendations similar to the ones seen on the side of the twitter.com site.

You can download the new versions of Twitter now directly from Google Play,  Apple’s App Store and Mac App Store.
