Twitter on Monday announced some changes to its Web interface, that larger displays of single and multiple-photo spreads will now be a part of the feed.
The social media platform used to earlier crop tweeted images in order to maintain some layout uniformity to a timeline or feed, and users had to click on individual images in order to view them fully.
Twitter last month also replaced its star button with the new heart button to 'favourite' a tweet as well.
In an official company blog post, Twitter said on Monday (December 07, 2015): -
Today, we’re introducing a richer photo experience on twitter.com.
While Twitter began as an all-text platform, rich media has become essential to the experience. Some of the best moments on Twitter are when you see the world through someone else’s eyes. Astronaut Scott Kelly’s awe-inspiring #YearInSpace, actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus onstage at the Emmys, Brian Dickinson’s solo summit of Mt. Everest — these photos bring us right into the moment.
This is why we’re constantly refining Twitter’s media experience - for example, we launched autoplaying video earlier this year, and designed Moments around visual media.
Starting today, we’re making your twitter.com timeline more immersive by uncropping photos, so you can experience and present them as they were meant to be viewed.
We’re also introducing larger, more beautiful multi-photo displays, which bring out more of each photo.
