Twitter was caught testing new designs for its application which indicates that changes are expected.Twitter has been caught testing material designs of its android application on mobile phones and tablets. This will not be a shocker for the users since the micro blogging site has made changes to its design in the past. It does this to test UI tweaks with the help of server side, this time a better and more materialistic interface will be coming out with a navigation menu and a floating action button.
The social media network plans to update its android outlet. For now, it does look like a modified version of the iOS application. It could actually use a new update to make itself better and catchier and make itself more suitable for Android.
Leaked images show that the update will give the application a new FAB button which is going to make it easier to move from home to other features of the application. Twitter Inc. is late in updating the app while many others added the FAB button a while ago. The UI will get a server side switch, which is for now only visible to officially enrolled users in the alpha testing program. The rest of the users will have to wait for the update to roll out in order to see the changes when it is available on Google Play.
The social media advertising giant will adopt the Android 5.0 lollipop like its rivals have done. A developer named, Hernan Castanon Alvarez, of the XDA community even uploaded a video on YouTube showing the changes made to the application. The video shows the format and the pattern of the tabs in the application at the top in order and even the FAB button at the bottom.
It is only fair that android owners experience a new material deigns of Twitter app as iOS users have a better application in comparison. The new face of the application according to the video of the developer does show a needed progress, all we can do is wait for this to finally find out. The clean interface might get the inactive android users back to the social media platform which is just what it needs. Users should keep their eyes and notifications for the play store open this month.
The timing for this update cannot be more perfect as the social media platform managed to win the contract to live stream the national game of the US. The NFL game is going to make wonders for the micro blogging giant.
