Twitter seems to be considering offering users additional options for the Twitter app icon on iOS home screens. The company has sent a new survey to members of the Twitter Insiders program to gather feedback on new icon designs.
As you can see in the image above, Twitter is collecting feedback on four different icon designs, one of which is the default Twitter default icon for iOS. The goal of the survey is to determine which icons Twitter users prefer, and the results could affect which icons are featured in the Twitter app.
Take a look at the app icon design below. This is an example of a Twitter application icon that would be displayed on your phone screen. We would like to ask you some questions about this design.
iOS and iPadOS allow developers to offer a collection of app icons, and that’s apparently what Twitter is looking to take advantage of with these additional options. Theoretically, Twitter could add a new setting in the Twitter app for iPhone and iPad that allows users to choose one of these custom icons instead of using the default one.
Twitter may end up dropping plans for these app icon options, or the feature may never quit testing. Twitter is also testing a new home screen, as you can see in the GIF below:
Of course, Twitter is also facing the consequences of an incredible security incident earlier this week that saw the accounts of users like Apple, Elon Musk and Barack Obama compromised. The company has said that no passwords were stolen in this violation, but that the attackers downloaded the account data through the “Your Twitter Data” tool.
Thanks Billy!
