Twitter added Joaquim Verges to its staff many months ago. A developer who launched one of the best clients Twitter third-party with Falcon Pro and the one that is probably already offering its skills to launch a better official app for mobile devices.
It is precisely today that we access a new update (the last one was this one) of the official Twitter app for Android and iOS in which descriptions or alternative text are introduced in the images in the tweets. This feature will give wings to be able relate certain messages to images that we are sharing from this social network.
Users can activate this new feature from the composition of the message in the description of the image. Apart from its own use by users, the feature can also be used by developers and publishers.
At the time that add an image to a tweet, each image in thumbnail or thumbnail, a button will appear for the description. Click on it and you can enter the desired text.
Users with vision problems will be able to access the description through assistive technology. Descriptions may have up to 420 characters.
This new update arrives as result of the Twitter initiative with @HelloWorld, where Jack Dorsey, CEO of the company, enlisted the help of developers for new ideas for the service. The ability to add descriptions to images was the fourth most required.
The images, as one of the great qualities of twitter, are enhanced with texts that can describe that appear in them or give additional information that serves to accentuate the message that you want to give with these new capabilities for the user.
The update is being deployed, so you can stop by the Google Play Store to see if you have it ready.
