The redesign of the Twitter desktop adopts some of the best features of its mobile application

Twitter is deploying today a new desktop design that adds more customization options and a completely reorganized browsing experience. The redesign is open to testers for a few months, but it will be accessible to all in the coming days. Unlike previous revisions, however, joining the new experience will be mandatory and there will be no Twitter legacy to rely on. Mashable.

The most important and notable change is that the top navigation bar has been moved to the left sidebar, which contains bookmarks, lists, your profile and a new Explorer tab. Twitter indicates that the Explorer tab has been moved from its mobile application to provide more live video and local custom trends. Direct messages have also been rearranged to display conversations and messages sent in the same window. The desktop experience also includes different themes and color schemes, including two additional options for dark mode.

Twitter has borrowed a few extra features to its mobile applications to enhance the desktop experience, like the "sparkle" button on the bar of the home bar that lets you see the latest tweets sorted chronologically rather than the best tweets. The sidebar will also allow users with multiple accounts to change profiles quickly without having to log in or out, a feature that has been available for years on the mobile app, with a long press on the phone. welcome icon.
