Is this the 5 New Central Features Twitter Made on iOS?

Twitter seems to be fixing itself by developing various new features. Complete, the company led by Jack Dorsey is reportedly experimenting to improve night mode, direct encrypted messages, and GIF.

Reporting from Mashable's website, Saturday (02/09/2019) these features were discovered by social media consultant Matt Navarra, who said that he could access features that had not been released by digging around in the code of the Twitter iOS application.

A Twitter spokesman declined to comment on the specifics, but said the company regularly experimented with many new features, and that not all tests were launched more widely. Following are the features found by Matt Navarra:

1. Night Mode Improvement

Twitter is testing two major updates for night mode or dark mode. First the dark mode is really black, not dark blue as it is now.

In addition to improving colors, it seems that Twitter is testing an automatic version of the feature, which will function similar to Night Shift on iOS. With dark automatic mode, eating dark Twitter themes can be automatically done at night and dies in the morning until noon.

2. Encrypted Direct Messages

Encrypted messages have been a Twitter job for a long time. The CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, once revealed that he thought the message was immediately encrypted in 2016.

Navarra also revealed in the next tweet that he had heard from sources that encryption was planned for the end of 2018. But unfortunately, the work still seems to be paused for reasons unknown.

3. GIF reaction

GIF seems to be popular in various platforms to express reactions in chat, After Instagram, Twitter is rumored to be adding GIFs to tweets, this option will apply specifically to retweets, so you can add GIFs above tweets.

4. New Navigation

One of the more interesting features that Navarra sees is three new additions to the Twitter navigation bar. These additions are news, friends and highlights. It is not clear what these choices are, but this can be a new way to filter your timeline. Navarra speculates that "friends" can show you tweets from people who follow you that you follow back.

5. New Movement

It looks like Twitter is testing some UI changes that will allow you to use drag and drop gestures in the application. First is the ability to move around the button to write a tweet. This is a small change, but it can be useful if you don't like the current placement.
