Twitter Will Allow Android Users To Login Using Google Accounts

Twitter app (9to5Google)

JAKARTA - Twitter is reportedly developing a feature that allows users to login to their platform via a Google account linked to an Android device. This new function is one of the functions introduced by the company through the latest Beta version.

Not only that, but the Twitter micro-blogging platform will also launch a similar function for iOS users. This means that users no longer bother to open the login page when they want to enter the platform. Because it can be done through a Google account or Apple ID.

In fact, fans have long discovered this feature in the Beta version of Twitter. According to a 9to5Google report, the company has started developing last June.

It's just that, at that time the login process through another account could only be done via Google. And it takes a long process for iOS devices to perform similar functions.

Idea That Google Has Been Offering For A Long Time

Tech giant Google has also been offering the same feature for a long time. A feature that allows certain application users to log in or sign up (create an account) using only a Google account.

This integration model, of course, aims to cut down on the login and registration processes – which are often long, complicated, and tedious for some users.

Not only that, but the login integration scheme will also save users time when filling in the basic data needed. Such as filling in name, address information, and even choosing account passwords.

So, when technology investigator Jane Manchun Wong discovered the new Twitter feature, users had a better understanding of it. In fact, through her personal Twitter account, Jane also shared screenshots of the feature.

We can see from the picture above, there is one additional button from the login page. From the original only containing the 'Sign Up' and 'Login' buttons, now added 'Continue with Google' or 'Continue Using Google Account'.

This addition is certainly good news for netizens. Both those who already have a Twitter account and those of you who want to create an account on this social media platform.

For example, for novice users, you don't have to bother to fill in the required personal data when creating an account. Just use a Google account that is connected to your cellphone, then you can automatically create a Twitter account by tapping the 'Continue with Google' button.

Meanwhile, for old users, you can more easily log in from a new device. As is known, Twitter login from a new device usually takes longer. Because you need to type in the credential code that was sent to the registered mobile number.

But, to take advantage of this feature, of course, there are conditions. Your Twitter account must already be linked to a Google account.
