If you use Tweetbot on the Mac and Safari is your default web browser, clicking on a Twitter link—which the company insists on shortening to t.co—can result in errors, hangs, and general misery. Luckily, there's a workaround that can help make the process seamless again.
Popular third party Twitter client Tweetbot has been updated to version 4.1, adding support for the Apple Watch. You can check your Activity, as well as reply to mentions and dictate new tweets directly from your wrist.
Tweetbot for iPhone and iPad has picked up support for 3D Touch on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, offering both quick actions on the app icon, as well as peek and pop support in the timeline.
Tweetbot for Mac, the popular third-party Twitter client, has been updated, adding a new Activity view, along with other refinements, including support for native playback of videos from Twitter, Instagram, and Vine.
I've been using the Tweetbot 4 beta for a while and it manages to be both the same and different. I was originally drawn to Tweetbot on iPhone because Twitter bought and eventually ruined Tweetie, which to me was an ideal way to rapidly triage Twitter on the go. And Tweetbot captured that same feeling perfectly. Yet Twitter's official apps, as convoluted as the interface became, kept adding new features and some of them were compelling. Tweetbot 4 for iOS, which now runs on iPhone and iPad, goes a long way to closing that gap while maintaining what makes it such a great experience.
Tweetbot for Mac has hit version 2.0.1, bringing support for Twitter's new tweet quoting feature, while also laying groundwork for longer direct messages.
Tweetbot for iPhone has hit version 3.6, bringing support for Twitter's new tweet quotation feature.
The quote tweet feature now present in Tweetbot lets you quote another tweet in your own message without eating heavily into your character limit. This ability has already made its way to Twitter's mobile apps, along with TweetDeck for Mac.
Popular Twitter app Tweetbot for iPhone has scored an update today, bringing it up to version 3.5.2. As far as new features are concerned, it's a bit light, but users will gain support for playing Twitter-hosted videos and GIFs, along with the usual helping of bug fixes.
