Twitter App Update Brings Local & Tailored Trends, Improved Vine Playback
Written by Josh Wolford
  • Twitter has just released an update to both their iOS and Android apps that allow you to see Trends from all over the world as well as choose to see Trends specifically tailored to your interests and who you follow. The update also brings a few other good improvements like improved playback on Vine videos.

    When accessing Trends on Twitter’s “discover” tab, you’ll now see the option to get “tailored trends” or also to change location. Here’s what Twitter will tell you when you attempt to change location:

    “Tailored Trends are based on your location and who you follow which make them more relevant to your interests. If you change location, you’ll see Trends based around geography only.”

    You can then pick from dozens of locations – mostly larger cities across the world. if you do so, your trends will simply be based on what’s popular around you – it’ll have nothing to do with who you follow.

    With today’s update, replies to retweeted tweets now show both the author of the tweet and the user who retweeted it. Here’s the full list of updates to come along with version 5.6:

    See what’s happening near you or around the world by viewing Trends in hundreds of locations.

    Also:
    • Invite friends to join Twitter from within the app
    • Improved playback of Vine videos
    • Replies to retweeted Tweets now include both the author and person who retweeted the Tweet
    • Enjoy a smoother experience due to bug fixes and other improvements.

    You can download the updates now in the App Store and on Google Play.
