Twitter Will Roll Out New Icon Set for All Users, including Web and Mobile
Twitter's new design brings more consistency throughout the app. The profile icons have been updated to round shapes and the headers have become bolder. You'll also notice a change to the reply icon. This change has been made to make it easier to distinguish between tweets and users.
The new icons for Twitter will roll out over the coming days to all platforms, including web and mobile.
Twitter has been undergoing a number of changes in recent years, including a new visual design language and a new font called Chirp. The change to the icons is one of the latest UI updates that has aimed to give the platform a more modern and more cohesive look. This update will be visible in the app for Android, iOS, and web users. The update will be made to reflect the addition of recent features to the platform. One such addition is the Edit button, which lets users combine GIFs, videos, and photos into a single tweet. Another feature is the horizontal bar, which lets users easily find full-screen video clips based on their interests.
Twitter has also updated the design of its icons, announcing that the new designs will have a more angular, bold look. The new icons are meant to be more relatable and fun. As a result, the new icons are a welcome change. The new icons will be available in the web and iOS apps over the coming days.
Following this launch, we kicked off a new iconographic set to continue the visual evolution based on a core set of principles we developed. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/gNas7OXJSj

The goal was to create a cohesive set of icons that are bold in shape and style yet still relatable and a little cheeky where possible. pic.twitter.com/vXphgv4pCK

The new icons will be available in both beta and production versions. Beta versions are released regularly, and they often give users a sneak peek of new features. Twitter employees are also notified of any updates, so it's important to stay updated. This will ensure you're always the first to know when your favorite features are live. With the new design, the icons are more easily accessible and can be easily shared among users.
Another change to Twitter's interface is that it now uses a thinner font. The colors used on the app have also been updated to be less blue and higher contrast. These changes are meant to make your tweets more visually appealing. In addition, Twitter is testing a new image format for users, which would eliminate the rounded borders around photos.
Twitter has also changed the settings menu. Its menu now features a vertical menu with links to the Home page, Explore page, Notifications, Messages, Bookmarks, and Lists. It also includes a link to your profile and an option to view your profile. Users can also click on the More link to access the settings menu, where they can find more features.
Twitter is also working on a new feature that will give users more control over who they want to mention in tweets. This will allow users to control who can mention them, tag them, and reply to them.
