JAKARTA - Twitter without a word has returned TweetDeck to the old version, after many users complained that the new version of the platform is missing some important features.

Neither Twitter owner Elon Musk and its new CEO Linda Yaccarino, nor any official Twitter accounts have made any announcements regarding the return of the old version of TweetDeck.

Several developers, including Harpy creator Roberto Doering, are seeing Twitter's legacy Application Programming Interface (API) working again. However, it is not known exactly how long the old version of TweetDeck can be used.

Previously announced, TweetDeck 2.0 or a new version will soon become an exclusive application for Twitter Blue with the reason to overcome the problems faced at this time.

This means that users of the tweet management platform will have to pay or subscribe to be able to continue to schedule their tweets via TweetDeck.

"We've just launched a new, improved version of TweetDeck. Within 30 days, users must be Verified to access TweetDeck," said Twitter Support in its official account recently.

TweetDeck 2.0 doesn't bring much new features, just a few improvements where the tweeter tab will be updated to include all tweet functionality, including GIFs, polls and more.

Just like before, tweets can also be scheduled, advanced search filters improved, option to sort TweetDeck columns into Top Tweets.

There is also a video docking feature, so users can watch videos while performing other functions. Users can also share access to a Twitter account without having to share a password.

However, TweetDeck 2.0 didn't retain key features like the Activity Tab, so it wasn't popular with users.

Even though TweetDeck 2.0 has been officially launched, the platform is still referred to as a preview version inside the app.

The updated preview build also includes support for Twitter Spaces, polls and features that were previously missing but Teams functionality is currently unavailable. This was quoted from The Verge, Monday, July 10.
