Material Design continues to spread non-stop in these two years since it was announced by Matías Duarte at Google I / O 2014 as the design language that should be in each of the best third-party Android apps at the same time as in the same system. The integration has been continuously implemented in thousands of apps and the ones that cost the most have been in the most popular apps such as WhatsApp itself or in Facebook Messenger, where the touch-ups have been more like brushstrokes.
Now it is Twitter that is trying another version of Material Design after those updates they have tried to innovate to have their own visual language. But it definitely seems that they are going to Material Design with a new version that has a more material interface, has tabs, a side navigation menu and even a floating button for actions that we usually know as FAB.
The shared image clearly shows the big change that Twitter gets in its new trial version where the tabs are located at the top with the most important categories to go to the side navigation menu on the left to switch between accounts, profile, highlights, lists and user search. The other options are settings and a few more details. This panel replaces the annoyance that the floating button means in the current version of the application.
Twitter is also testing the button FAB to have it at the bottom and thus perform quick actions as happens in hundreds of other applications. At the moment this update comes from the server side in the beta program, so there is no way to install the new interface manually through an APK as we usually do. We will be attentive to the possible arrival, but we leave it in a testing phase that could be launched in days or pass to a better life and stay in a mere test.
