Download Twitter For Windows 10 Mobile

Twitter an awesome service that can be used for many purposes, from telling the world what’s happening in your life to following the latest Microsoft news. So, with over 320 million active users, the social media company needs to invest into an app that could run across various platforms. Sadly, though, the official Twitter app for Windows phones lacks in many areas when compared to it’s Android counterpart.

1) Performance

May 01, 2018  For over a month now, Twitter has had a PWA available in the Microsoft Store. Progressive Web Apps are a new feature in the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, which allow a web app to work more like a.

Twitter on Windows 10 Mobile vs Twitter on Android. The official Twitter app seems slower on Windows 10 Mobile than it should be. 2) Interface. Download QR-Code.

The first such area is performance. Using the unscientific testing method of simply tapping to open the app, it seems to me that the Twitter app on a Lumia 640 takes several seconds longer to load than it does on a Galaxy S5. The search performance is also slower on the official Windows phone Twitter app. And unlike on Android, search suggestions are not automatically provided.

Granted, the Galaxy S5 is a high-end Android device while the Lumia 640 is a relatively low-end Windows 10 Mobile device, and the latter is still in a preview state. Even so, the official Twitter app seems slower on Windows 10 Mobile than it should be.

2) Interface

When it comes down to the interface, the official Twitter app on Windows phones is also lacking in some ways, and this has nothing to do with RAM or CPU performance. On a 5.0-inch screen device such as a Lumia 640, the icons for Twitter’s official Windows phone app interface are all too large and clunky. For example, the location for the interface along the top ultimately takes away space from actual content on the screen, and with this comes a lot of wasted space along the top edges of the app.

On the Galaxy S5’s similar 5.1-inch screen, however, the interface runs across the top in similar fashion but with smaller icons which run closer to the top and take up less space. This leaves for more room to view tweets.

A similar problem with the user experience occurs also when scrolling through an active timeline. Unlike on Android, the compose and search buttons on Windows phones do not fade away when the user is scrolling through the app. The buttons simply stay put and can easily be pressed by accident.

The same can be said for the areas to compose tweets. On the official Windows Phone Twitter app, a small clunky box is provided when you want to craft a tweet, and the box then grows as the tweet gets longer. As seen below, despite the growing box, there is still an overall waste of space around the box . To add to this pain, the icons to add location and photos are all too small when compared to Android below.

3) Lack of new Twitter features

Although the interface and performance are inferior, the lack of new features on the official Twitter app on Windows phones is even worse. Simply put, the Windows phone version of Twitter seems stuck in the past. As seen above with both the Android app and the official Windows phone Twitter app, Windows phones have not yet been updated to reflect Twitter’s new “heart” feature.

Also unlike on Android, the official Windows phone Twitter app does not reflect other new functionality such as quoting Tweets or pinning tweets to a profile. On the official Twitter for Windows phone app, quoted tweets instead show as a link, and when the user clicks, they are redirected to an internet browser. As seen below, I pinned one of my WinBeta posts to my profile on Twitter, and then quoted a WinBeta Tweet. The pin disappeared altogether in the official Twitter for Windows phone app, and the quote cannot be seen properly.

Where did my pin go?

Lastly, videos, links to Vine, and gifs also do not show up or load in the Windows phone version of the official Twitter app. Unlike on Android where the videos are shown directly in tweets, with Windows phone, the user is rather given a link to view the video instead. But, perhaps the biggest issue of them all, Twitter’s new “moments” and trending pages (as seen on Android) are not featured in the official Twitter app for Windows phone. Rather, the official Windows phone version has an old and outdated search bar that only lists trending topics.

Ultimately, when compared to it’s Android counterpart, the official Twitter app for Windows phones lacks many features and provides sub-par performance. The app is fine to use for basic viewing purposes and in my experience remains the most stable Twitter app on the Windows Store, while providing for the best and most timely notifications. Many other alternatives on the Windows Phone market that fix the issues mentioned here, and you can check some of them out below. Which alternative Twitter app do you prefer on Windows phone?

Twitter has today updated its app on Windows 10 Mobile to the new PWA version that recently launched on Windows 10 desktop. Unfortunately, this means Windows 10 Mobile users will no longer receive things like push notifications, as notifications from the Twitter PWA rely on service workers to function, and Windows 10 Mobile does not support service workers.

The new Twitter PWA, while excellent on Windows 10 desktop, is less excellent on Windows 10 Mobile. Microsoft left Windows 10 Mobile behind at Redstone 2 when it switched to the feature2 branch, and has such does not have any of the new improvements to PWA support that Redstone 4 introduced on PC. This means that while the Twitter PWA works, it does not have many tie-ins with the OS.

For example, the Twitter PWA on Mobile no longer has a live tile, and as already mentioned, does not have push notification support. This means those on Windows 10 Mobile won't get notifications when someone sends you a message or retweets you on Twitter. It also has no dark mode. Notifications work on PC because Windows 10 desktop supports these service workers included with Redstone 4.

On the plus side, the new Twitter PWA brings with it all the updated Twitter changes, including the increased character support, the ability to bookmark tweets, and more. Perhaps the update was pushed out in error, or maybe Twitter thinks users on Mobile won't mind missing out on things like push notifications. Regardless, what are your thoughts on the new Twitter PWA for Mobile? Let us know in the comments.
