Twitter is pushing photo features by launching an update to allow tag insertion and uploading multiple images together.
Twitter is offering its subscribers a new update, focusing all attention on the photo sharing features.
Images often capture more attention than written words, and thus all social networks are showing a preference for this sharing experience.
It’s no coincidence that a new feature related to this is arriving on the microblogging-based social network: from today, it’s possible to tag photos, inserting the names/nicknames of the people appearing in them.
A maximum of ten tags can be used per image, and this will have no impact on the length of the text you wish to write as a caption: the same character limit as always will remain available.
As soon as you are tagged in a photo, you will receive an automatic notification from the system, but if you prefer to avoid your name appearing on an image, you can remove the tag or set your desired privacy level beforehand by modifying the relevant options in the “Settings” menu.
Another new feature introduced with this update relates to the number of photos that can be posted simultaneously: you will be able to insert up to four images with a single post, forming a kind of collage.
To test all the new photography-related features on Twitter, you just need to launch the app, at least on Apple devices: as learned from a post on Twitter’s official blog, the update has arrived exclusively first on iOS devices.
In the coming days, it will also be available on Android, and will be fully functional and operational on the web platform as well.
