Twitter's latest update will improve third-party apps
Twitter announced an update on Friday that should significantly improve the experience within third-party Twitter apps: It's giving developers much more access to their reverse-chronological timeline. This update to Twitter's recently released API v2.Haddad explained that the change would make Tweetbot more responsive to users.
As Twitter points out in its announcement post, the new API v2 feature gives developers a way to "retrieve the most recent Tweets and Retweets posted by the authenticated user and the accounts they follow." In other words, a developer can request to see the data that Twitter shows them when they load their app with "Latest Tweets" selected so that their app can show it to them.
