Twitter (TWTR) Launches Native Windows 10 App (MSFT)

Starting today, Windows users will have a new Twitter experience optimized especially for Windows 10. Announced last night, this Twitter app will be available alongside the launch of Windows 10 for PCs and Tablets.

The new Twitter for Windows 10 is a Universal Windows Application that gives you instant access to top Tweets, photos and videos without requiring a login. You’ll also see Tweets right out of the box in live tiles from the Start menu.

Here are some highlights of the Windows 10 app:

• Twitter Live Tiles
• Multiple photo Tweets — upload up to four photos per Tweet
• Animated GIFs
• Vine playback
• Tweets with photos, Vine videos and other select content now show a preview in your home timeline
• Share photos privately in Direct Messages

Starting today, Twitter for Windows is available globally for Windows 10 users. Stay tuned for continued improvements to Twitter for Windows in the coming days and months.
