Twitter tests numerous features before rolling them (or not) to users. It recently began testing the ability for people to CoTweet and has now started experimenting with a way for people to “Try Twitter” before creating an account on the social media platform. In addition, it is also testing a way to add multiple types of media in a single tweet. Here’s a look at the details about both the new Twitter tests.
Initially spotted by reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong and then corroborated by Twitter’s Product Lead Laura Burkhauser, the new “Try Twitter” test will allow people to get an experience of the microblogging platform and read people’s tweets without having to create an account.
Not everyone is ready to sign up for an account the first time they try Twitter. Our team wants to give people an easy way to read tweets and experience having a timeline. It’s an experiment and still mvp. LMK if you have feedback (but you’ll need to create an account first 😉) https://t.co/2kJe5gvRNG— Laura Burkhauser (@burkenstocks) July 28, 2022
Feedback is welcome for this based on which, more improvements may be added to the experiment. We couldn’t find the functionality so we assume it is live for a select few. It also remains to be seen if it will be introduced for all new users trying to have a hands-on experience.
Another Twitter test involves adding every possible media like images, GIFs, and even videos in a single tweet. Currently, only one type of media can be added to a tweet.
