More about the App

• Use hashtags to categorise your tweet and link it to other similar topics. You can also search for hashtags and read through related tweets. This will let you understand everything that is going on around trending topics or topics that interests you
• The Twitter app now comes with a 'Dark Mode'. This feature will allow you to scroll through Twitter with a dark background, which is very easy on your eyes. This is great for scrolling on Twitter at night and not blinding yourself with a harsh white background
• Retweet and favourite tweets you enjoy to amplify them and show others that you enjoyed the tweet, letting all your follows see the tweet. You can also quote tweets, where the original tweet will display in the middle, just below your additional comment
• You can include GIFs or photos on anything you tweet. You can attach up to four individual photos, making it easy to express your reaction to certain ideas, or to contextualize any of your tweets with up to four individual images
