Twitter has today announced that it is rolling out a new design for threaded conversations on the platform based on testing it performed in the “twttr” app. According to Twitter, the new design makes it easier for users to understand who they are replying to, and the overall flow of the conversation.
Your conversations are the 💙 of Twitter, so we’re testing ways to make them easier to read and follow.

We’re also experimenting with placing like, Retweet, and reply icons behind a tap for replies. We’re trying this with a small group on iOS and web to see how it affects following and engaging with a convo.
