Twitter Previews Updated Tweet Detail Display

With the addition of recent elements like view and bookmark counts, the tweet details screen has develop into very cluttered, which Twitter itself is aware of, and is working to handle.

Today, Twitter designer Andrea Conway has shared a glimpse of the newest prototype of its updated tweet detail formatting – i.e. what you see after you’ve tapped on a tweet – which presents the entire relevant tweet info in a more streamlined, tidy manner.

As you’ll be able to see, the brand new tweet detail view looks very much like how tweets are displayed within the most important timeline, with fewer titles describing each element, taking over less space. The brand new format would also introduce an choice to sort your tweet replies, which could make it easier to scan through relevant comments based on engagement, time, etc.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the test and current formats:

The view count has been moved as much as the highest, below the username, together with the tweet date (time now not displayed on the most important tweet window), while retweet and quote counts are combined, and replies, a key focus of Twitter’s updated algorithm (and its ad revenue share program), get their very own count in the main points screen.

The format, as noted, is just about the identical as how tweets appear within the most important feed, with some slight tweaks, which should make it a smoother experience when switching between the 2 displays.

And you continue to get all the identical info, with the additional data available by tapping on the relevant section.

It’s not finalized as yet, however it looks like a greater version of the tweet format, which can also be fairly native to how people already interact with tweets.

And it’s definitely a greater option to present all the brand new info implemented by the Twitter 2.0 team.

This might change, but given the speed of development in Elon Musk’s team, and his newer emphasis on shipping more changes, I’d expect this latest format to be launched shortly.
