Twitter Updates iPhone App With New Look Profiles, iOS 8 Features

Twitter updated its iPhone app today, revamping its profile screen to emphasize user bios, photos and favorites and adding support for features made possible by this week’s Apple iOS 8 update.

User bios are now visible without swiping on updated iPhones (for now a swipe is still required on Android devices). A user’s tweets, photos and favorites can be viewed with a tap on a tab, which remains at the top of the screen. Here’s how the new profile screen looks and works:

The new profile is available today for phones using iOS 7 and higher. The app also now incorporates iOS 8 features that allow a user to interact with push notifications — retweet, favorite, follow and reply — without opening the app.
