Everything You Need to Know About The Latest Twitter Features (And Some Thoughts on Its Future)

Over recent months, there has been a lot of debate about the future of Twitter.


Growth has halted, share prices have fallen, and some are even saying #RIPTwitter.


With all that in mind, the future of Twitter still feels extremely exciting, though. It feels like something big is afoot. And in order to kickstart growth and get people excited again, Twitter has been rolling out a range of great new features and updates.


In this post, I'd love to give you the lowdown on Twitter's newest features and also share some thoughts on where it may be heading in the future.
