The official Twitter app for Windows 10 PCs updated this week with some new features to improve direct messages and content discovery.

When viewing a Twitter user’s profile, the app will now display other accounts that you follow who also follow it. DMs have also been improved with drag-and-drop functionality added for media when composing a message and a new DM option for when sharing a tweet.

Here’s the full release notes for this latest update which should be live for most people already given the Progressive Web App (PWA) format of the app.

  • We added support for events that are happening on Twitter! Check this out by clicking or tapping on the search icon.
  • Direct message (DM) improvements: (1) you can now drag and drop 1 video or photo in a DM. (2) We improved the users recommended when you click on “Share via Direct Message” from the share menu on a Tweet.
  • We’ve added followers you know when you visit a profile or hover over a user’s handle or name. This gives you more context on who you might know from their followers.

Do you use the official Twitter app or do you prefer a third-party solution? Let us know in the comments below and then follow us on Twitter for more Windows app news.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
