Twitter’s new prototype app ‘twttr’ launched with new features

In order to test improved conversation features on its platform, microblogging app Twitter has launched prototype app “twttr” where users can join and test it.

The idea of the prototype app was first announced in February.

“Our prototype app, ‘twttr’, launches to the first group of participants today. #LetsHaveAConvo about new features to build a better Twitter together,” Twitter Support tweeted on Monday, inviting users to help them review test features.

The social media giant has been exploring the idea of adding colour to replies — a user who posts the initial tweet would see their responses in grey while replies from followers would be in blue.
