History[edit]
Tweetbot was initially released on April 14, 2011 by Tapbots on the App Store. It was only available for the iPhone at that time. Features have been added to the program over time, including multiple account switching, in-timeline viewing of images and YouTube video thumbnails, push notifications, and the ability to mute certain users and topics in the timeline view temporarily. Customization of two tabs is also available in the application, and updates after the release of iOS 5 have added other features such as left and right swiping of a Twitter message to follow individual conversation threads.[1]
Inherent in Tapbots' design philosophy, the app's slogan is 'A Twitter client with personality', which is meant to emulate a friendly robot, as the company's other programs do. The program also has universal syncing through iCloud, allowing for bookmarking between the iPhone, iPad and Mac clients.[2]
On June 11, 2012 Tapbots announced the launch of an alpha version of Tweetbot for Mac. Since October 18, 2012 the final version is available in the Mac App Store, which includes all features of the iOS version.[3]
Subsequently, on October 3, 2012 a sister app featuring most of the features of Tweetbot, Netbot, was released by Tapbots for the paid Twitter competitor App.net.[4]
On November 19, 2012 Tapbots released version 2.6.1. The notable update in this version was a tweaked user interface, modifying the design of icons and buttons.[5]
On February 4, 2013 Tapbots released version 2.7 of Tweetbot. Added features include support for inline viewing of Vine video clips as well as options to set a default browser for external links.[6] Shortly after, version 2.7.1 was released to fix a bug in the 2.7 update that caused the application to crash at launch for many users.[7]
On October 17, 2013 Tapbots submitted version 3.0 of Tweetbot to the App Store team for review.[8] Version 3.0 is an update to match the new design of iOS 7.
On July 1, 2014 Tapbots updated Tweetbot to version 1.6 for Mac, introducing multiple image upload feature and fixed other minor bugs.[9]
On June 4, 2015, Tapbots announced Tweetbot 2.0 for Mac. The update introduced a new look to match the aesthetic of OS X Yosemite and a new starting price. The update was free for existing users.[10]

Tweetbot 4 also improved its mute filter settings, status details, user profiles, and optimizations to the app itself. It is the first applications that requires iOS 9 on the device. It can not be downloaded with earlier version of the mobile operating system, as the program supports only the English localization.
On Tuesday, November 3, 2015, Tweetbot 4.1 was released by Tapbots.[12] For the first time, the app supports Apple Watch and displays alerts for new favorite, new follows, and mentions. Just click on the alert for a detailed view and right from the Apple Watch you can follow back, retweet or favorite based on the kind of alert it is. Once you are in the detailed view, a quick tap on the avatar displays user's profile.

Accounts & Navigation
Reordering Accounts
You can change the order of your accounts in the account select window by tapping and holding on an account icon and dragging it where you want it.
Deleting Accounts
To delete an account, tap & hold on an account icon and then drag it to the right until you see a notice to delete the account.
Quick Account Switching
There are two ways to quickly switch accounts in Tweetbot. If you only have a couple accounts, the quickest way is to swipe left over your account icon in the navigation bar. This will quickly switch to the next account. To quickly pick a specific account, just tap & hold down on your account avatar in the navigation bar, and a list of your accounts will appear. Keep holding your finger down while dragging to the account you wish to select and then release.
Customizing Tabs
Tweetbot allows you to set the last two tab buttons for quick access to specific sections. Just tap & hold down on one of the last two icons to reveal the menu of other sections. Just like with quick account switching, you can tap, hold, drag, and then release to quickly select another section.
Timeline
Timeline Gestures
Tapping on a tweet in your timeline reveals all the actions you can perform on that particular tweet, but there are some useful gestures for some of the more common actions.
Swipe Left: Swipe left on a tweet to access the tweet‘s details which includes the earlier conversation and replies.
Swipe Right: Swipe right on a tweet to reply to a tweet.
Short Swipe Right: If you slide a tweet to the right without releasing, you‘ll notice a “like” icon appears first and then a reply icon. If you release the tweet while the “like” icon is shown, it will toggle the “like” action. You can optionally change this short-swipe action to “retweets” in the settings.
Timeline Filters
Timeline filters can be thought of as saved timeline searches, but they can be more powerful than that. You can find the option next to the search bar at the top of any timeline list. This includes your main timeline, list timelines, search results, mentions, and likes.
There are default filters you can quickly select like only show media, links, retweets, or quotes in your timeline. But you can also create your own custom filters that you can save for future use.
The Power of Lists
Creating/Managing Lists
Lists are a powerful way to create custom timelines and separate tweets into digestable topics of interest. Want to follow sports news, but not get spoiled from tweets in your main timeline? Just create a sports list and add sports-related accounts to that list. When you are in the mood to read sports news, you can just access that list.
The list tab is where you create and manage your lists. You can also read from your lists there. Lists can be public or private. Omnigraffle pro 7 4 3 download free.
Once you have your lists created, you can quickly add people to one of them any time from their profile or by holding down on their avatar in a tweet and selecting “Add/Remove from Lists”.
Using Lists as your Timeline
One long time Tweetbot feature is the ability to use any of your lists as your main timeline. To do this, all you have to do is hold down on the “Timeline” label in the navigation bar (in the timeline tab) and a menu populated with your lists will appear. Select one and that will become your current timeline. You can switch to another list or back to your main timeline any time by performing the same action.
Composing Tweets
Drafts
Tweetbot 5 Android
If you close a tweet you are composing you‘ll have the option to save it as a draft. You can create an unlimited number of drafts. Drafts are accessible from the gear icon in the compose view, but you can also quickly bring up your last draft by holding down on the compose menu icon.
Tweet Topics
If you want to create tweetstorms or chain together multiple tweets as replies, Topics are for you. You can access Topics from the gear icon in the compose view. Hit the add button, enter a title and you can optionally append hashtags automatically at the end of each tweet. Now each tweet you create will automatically be a reply to the previous tweet until you close the Topics header.
Misc. Tips
Profile Notes
Ever forget why you followed someone or who they are? Tweetbot allows you to write and save notes on user‘s profiles that are completely private to you. Just go to a user‘s profile and click on the user icon in the navigation bar. Select add note and type away. No one can read these but you.
Quick Theme Switching
You can quickly switch between the light and dark theme by swiping up or down on the app with two fingers.
Go to Twitter URL
Ever get a link to a tweet or someone‘s twitter profile and not know how to get there within Tweetbot? Just go to the search tab and paste it search. The option to go to that tweet or profile will pop right up.

Return to last Read
Tweetbot Online
