Latest Twitter PWA update adds tons of useful new features

Twitter has added tons of new features to its Progressive Web App(PWA) through a server-side update. The Twitter PWA now fully supports Voice Tweets, which now includes improved controls, audio dock playback, and captions. Twitter PWA users will also be able to use Google account to sign in or sign up to the microblogging site. The ability to adjust conversation control settings for a Tweet after it’s been sent is another useful feature that was missing in the Twitter PWA, but thanks to the latest update, those using the Twitter web client can now do that.

The latest update also includes a ton of improvements and general bug fixes. You can read the full official change below to know more about the latest update.

Changelog

New

• Mid-Conversation Controls: We’ve introduced the ability for you to adjust conversation control settings for a Tweet after it’s been sent. This allows authors to adjust the scope of a conversation as it evolves, and empowers authors to pause replies from people outside their network or altogether.
• Promoted Tweets: We’ve made improvements around ensuring proper density of promoted Tweets within timelines.
• Spaces: You’ll now be able to see the presence of an active Space through profile image rings in search results and on the profile screen. You can click the avatar to join the Space.
• Third Party Sign-On: You can now use your Google account to sign up and sign in to your Twitter account.
• Voice Tweets: Voice Tweets are now fully supported on Twitter.com, including improved controls, audio dock playback, and captions.
