Based on what VOI saw from the post, the overall icon shape hasn't changed much. However, what makes this distinction obvious is the thickening of the lines.
"We strive to make our icons simple, straight forward and inclusive for any culture and market," Twitter wrote in a caption for the new icon.
The plan, Twitter will soon launch its new icon to all users on the web, iOS, and Android in the coming days, said spokesman Shaokyi Amdo in an email to The Verge.

Twitter says that this change follows a new visual design language introduced in August 2021, which includes the rollout of the Chirp font across apps.
