This should make it feel much more responsive, especially on slower, cellular connections. Users of data saver will now not load the full-resolution, allowing them to view the uncropped version or zoom on it without consuming additional data.
• Events: Added “Up Next” functionality on Event pages, now videos associated with the Event will play one after each other.
• PWA: Improved the resolution of the PWA app icon, made it look better on certain Android devices.
• Codebase: Reworked how linking is handled throughout the app, done through a team-wide Hackday. This change is largely invisible, but should improve the responsiveness of certain links.
• Security:  We’ve updated our Two-Factor Auth to use FIDO2 WebAuthn protocol, which allows support for more browsers and authenticators while also retaining all of the phishing resistant capabilities security key-based 2FA provides. Only hardware keys are currently supported, with additional support coming later.

• Profile: Follower and Following pages now have tabs to easily switch between them

Fixed

New

• Timeline: The chronological timeline switch is now on for web! Click the ✨ at the top of your timeline to get your tweets in chronological order (or switch to the algorithmic timeline).  We will eventually switch you back to the algorithmic tweets after a while, but if you keep switching we’ll wait longer before changing it back.
• Navigation (widescreen): We changed the icon for Explore from a 🔍 into a #⃣.  When in widescreen mode, there’s a search field on the screen, and having one 🔍 for Explore and another 🔍 for search was confusing. 🔍

Updated

• Internationalization: Enabled our beta language support for Irish, Galician, Basque and Urdu.
• Emoji: DM Groups and List titles now use Twemoji rather than native OS emoji for more reliable rendering

Fixed

• Internationalization: Corrected the display of numbers and Tweet action icons (e.g. “55 Retweets”) in languages that read right to left.
• Accessibility: The screen reader reads the Tweet when navigating the timeline with J/K keyboard shortcuts. Including the number of Replies, Likes, and Retweets. Ratios for everyone!
• Accessibility: Social proof (e.g. "@Twitter Retweeted") now reads properly with screen readers
• Accessibility: Improved handling of screen magnification
• Accessibility: Added an aria label to the ‘promoted’ marker so the screen reader can tell when the Tweet is an ad

New

Updated

• Images: We are smarter about which image to show in the timeline based on the pixel density of the person’s screen.  The result is a faster experience on newer phones with high pixel density.
  
• Image Cropper:  We’ve adjusted the zoom behavior when adjusting an uploaded image. It feels much more natural now.
  
• Accessibility: The way a screen reader identified the emoji icon that pops open the emoji picker was vaguely labeled (‘Button’). It’s label has been improved and its purpose  is now very clear (‘Add Emoji’).

Fixed

• Internationalization: Fixed the ordering of social proof phrases (e.g. “@Twitter Retweeted”) in languages that read right to left.
• Stability: Adjusted the app reload logic to prevent the infinite reloads that some people were experiencing.
• Scrolling: A bug snuck in that allowed pull-to-refresh to work in places that it shouldn’t have.  Pull-to-refresh is again properly contained.
• Direct Messages: When sharing a tweet through DMs we weren’t auto-focusing the message text box, which made adding a message require some clicking. Focus should be automatic now.

• Events: Added social context (‘8k people here’) to the events page to share the scale of the event.
