The detail view is fairly information rich, which is good, but when you enter a conversation, the view presents the last tweet you clicked on as the top one, with no indicator that there might be some above it. You’ll also get the conversation happening around a tweet in this new view. The tweet detail view now has a numerical representation of retweets and favorites, as well as a visual representation of the avatars that interacted with it. Alas, there is no support for photos in DMs, a feature Twitter just rolled out this week. Twitter for Mac also gains support for viewing, though not creating custom timelines. There’s a new profile view which displays photo headers now, too. The updated iconography continues throughout the app, with the new DM icon making an appearance as well. The new Twitter for Mac also gets a refreshed icon, which was much needed as the old one was a point-of-least-resistance update of the old one. This option does not exist on the web client. You can toggle the expanded images off in the Mac app, just as you can with the iOS app. The photos jump out at you, and do still reduce information density - but that’s probably just fine for the majority of Twitter users that likely don’t use it as a personal news ticker. This actually works quite a bit better on desktop than it does on mobile, as there is more screen real-estate to play with. Any photos using Twitter’s own photo sharing service will show up in large preview form, just like they do on mobile. The photo timeline will be the most immediately evident change in the new Twitter for Mac, though there have been design updates throughout the app. The new expanded photo timeline makes an appearance, as does a new tweet detail view, refreshed profiles and an overall design bump. Twitter’s Mac app, once thought dead and gone, got an update today to bring it in line with the web and mobile apps in a few ways.
