In the main timeline, you’ll notice more image thumbnails than before. Tweetbot 6 includes new icons, themes, and other Settings updates.Īside from the new pricing model, Tweetbot 6 has only implemented a handful of new features, including a few changes to the timeline view and some design changes. However, some of the app’s features require a subscription.

Tweetbot 7 is available as a free update on the App Store for the iPhone and iPad. As someone who spends a lot of time on the Mac, that’s disappointing and something that I hope will change soon.
The two versions are badly out of sync in terms of features too.

However, with each new feature and refinement to Tweetbot’s iOS and iPadOS apps, the Mac app looks more and more dated. I missed the app’s stats view, so it’s nice to see its return.
The pace of Tweetbot updates has picked up significantly in recent months, which is fantastic. Hej features a slate blue background with yellow highlights, while bumblebee has a near-black background with brighter yellow accents. Tweetbot 7 also includes new dark themes called hej and bumblebee. You can swipe across the graph to see each category by day or tap the categories under the graph to jump straight to that view. The view includes a graph at the top, followed by statistics detailing your timeline activity for the last week, including Likes, Replies, Tweets, Retweets, Quotes, and Follows. Today, that view is back in Tweetbot 7 for the iPhone and iPad, thanks to the social media company’s increased willingness to open its platform to third-party developers like Tapbots. Over three years ago, Tweetbot removed the app’s stats view as a result of Twitter API changes. The latter can be enabled on a user’s profile page (pictured below) or by long-pressing someone’s profile picture in the timeline. In terms of why this matters for users, background notifications alllow Tweetbot to support notifications for more types of activities: you can now enable notifications for new followers, people who quote one of your tweets, and – my favorite – new tweets from a specific user. These notifications, unlike push notifications, are managed by iOS/iPadOS’ background app refresh system, which comes with some benefits and limitations that Tapbots has outlined here. In today’s 7.1 update, Tweetbot has gained support for background notifications. We’ve been keeping an eye on Tapbots’ rapid development pace for Tweetbot on iPhone and iPad over the past few months (we gave Tweetbot 6 a MacStories Selects award in December), and I continue to be impressed by how Tweetbot is growing and adding new features thanks to its new business model and Twitter’s new API. This one took about four minutes to arrive – not too bad considering they’re not based on push notifications.
