JAKARTA - Twitter is exploring ways to build a more immersive visual experience, with its latest test, bringing end-to-end tweets into its iOS app.

The company previously introduced larger image and video views with improved cropping controls for its mobile app earlier this year, leaving many photographers and other visual artists happy that the social network has suddenly become a much friendlier platform for their work. .

In the current test quoted from TechCrunch, Wednesday, September 8th, the tweet filled the full frame from left to right instead of being offset by a sizeable margin on the left. The changes result in much larger images and videos, better looking in feeds and a more realistic design.

The microblogging social network said it wanted to encourage users to have conversations across photo and video uploads, rather than just focusing on text like the platform has.

With the presence of this capability, users do not need to swipe the phone with two fingers just to enlarge the image on Twitter today. However, Twitter didn't say how soon the feature would finish testing, and whether they would deploy it to Android users.

Twitter said this trial was an attempt to bring more focus to content, because many Twitter users often share media.

According to Engadget, the new capability could also help Twitter against Instagram, TikTok and other social networks, as it has a more real and larger view of posts.
