Twitter is testing a redesigned version of Replies. Here is what it looks like.

Today, Twitter has launched a new prototype application called "Twttr", which introduces the new features to a select group of testers.

An email sent by Twitter to the testers said: "We are delighted to invite you early to give you a behind-the-scenes glimpse and a first look at how we explore new ideas." It's hard to know when and if the features be available to a wider audience, but it's a preview of how Twitter is planning to tweak its platform.

The application, downloaded from BuzzFeed News through Apple's beta testing platform, Testflight, includes a redesigned response format test. Here is what it looks like:

Responses to a tweet are more like a direct message. The responses of people you follow are highlighted in blue, while those of the original tweeter are outlined in black.

The number of retweets and likes is also hidden in the chat view and only appears in the responses view.

Composition the answers are also different. You can now see the tweet you are responding to as you write the answer.

Liz Kelley, Twitter spokeswoman, said the new features were intended to facilitate "public conversation." In an e-mail statement, Kelley said, "Public conversation helps the world learn faster, solve common problems and realize we're all in the same boat. We know that it would be easier to follow and participate in conversations on Twitter. So we openly test the first explorations and with this application, while continuing to create Twitter with the people who use it. "

The redesigned response system can make it easier to read conversations. It is unclear if and how the new interface will help solve the problems of harassment and abuse.

Interested testers can apply online.

L & # 39; s Official Twitter support handle Candidates should check their email for updates in the coming days. The company will add users to the waiting list later.

Still no editing button, however 🙁

The answers are just one of the features that the company is reorganizing. Last year, after the general outcry of users, Twitter launched a new button on mobile to switch between an algorithmic chronology and chronological.
