| Twitter lets you Tweet photos in 4K resolution on Android and iOS |
Twitter announced that it will now allow all users to tweet and watch 4K footage on iOS and Android.
Twitter has come a long way in sharing photos and videos, including TwitPic's retirement to take over the original photo service.
The company now continues its development by uploading 4K photos to iOS and Android at the same time.
This means you can use your iPhone or Android device, choose which photos you want to share, and anyone can view them with the best resolution.
The web version of the platform supports high-resolution images (resolution up to 4096 x 4096 pixels). However, mobile apps are limited to half that resolution with a maximum resolution of 2048 x 2048 pixels.
The company started testing 4K photos uploaded to mobile phone users earlier this year. With the feature available to all users today, these tests seem to be going smoothly.
For the Twitter app on Android and iOS, activating this function is easy and only requires a few clicks.
You must first go to the app's “Settings” menu, then select the “Data Usage” option, then select the “High Quality Image” option to display 4K images and select the Tweet text option. Mobile network and wireless network.
Twitter is also testing an improved image-sharing design, created after a series of disagreements over the content the algorithm displays, and the new sharing design is still under public testing.
The social network launched a project last week to analyze accidental damage of machine learning algorithms by users.
Twitter said: The use of machine learning affects hundreds of millions of tweets every day, and the system can sometimes behave differently than expected. These minor changes affect the users. We want to make sure that we research and benefit from these changes. Creating better products.
Now testing on Android and iOS: when you Tweet a single image, how the image appears in the Tweet composer is how it will look on the timeline –– bigger and better. pic.twitter.com/izI5S9VRdX
