Twitter Software Download For Windows 10

[Teena Ruiter]

Ahhhhok, thanks. So it might be an issue with Twitter that coincided with my PC failure. Has been like it 24hrs, hopefully working when I get up tomorrow morning. I also have the same issue with test Tweets.

There are recent posts in the forum about Twitter breaking with WD, as well as numerous articles in the media about how bad Twitter is now in general. Some people have created alternative methods to post to Mastodon and maybe other places.

It is not a WD problem, it is twitter, about a few weeks ago, they announced that they would stop all automated tweets. if you noticed All NWS does not have the ability to post their ibot tweets anymore. So as long as Musk is running twitter, things will keep going down hill there. So just stop the twitter feed in WD, unless you are going to pay a outrageous prices that we always had for free. Again, it is not WD, it is twitter itself.

When you launch the twitter app and try to fill in the PW using 1PW, the menu comes up on Ctrl+\ but it doesn't fill up the login and pw. Is it known limitation as I have not really searched the forum first, sorry?

No problem. Honestly, I was really hoping Apple would announce an Autofill API for macOS this year like they did on iOS last year, as that might inspire Microsoft to do something similar on Windows. We'll both have to keep dreaming for now, but maybe someday we will have our wish. Cheers! :chuffed:

@Abhijit, the plan is for us to implement the Auto-Type feature, that'll allow you to use the shortcut to have 1Password automatically type the username/password for you in the third party apps. We have this in 1Password 4 but it hasn't been implemented for 1Password 7 yet.

For now, you can bring up 1Password mini via Control + Alt + \ and right-click on your Twitter to use Copy > Type in Window to paste in some of the fields quickly. Make sure you focus the username first in Twitter before you ask 1Password to type it in. This basic feature will evolve into Auto-Type to connect the Login item to your app and then automate all fields for you.

A form of it is coming as part of Project Catalyst, Catalyst apps can use auto-fill but it is limited to iCloud Keychain since there are no ported password managers available yet, like the first version of Autofill API on iOS. Hopefully, the second version with third party app support is coming next year.

Great inputs!

So it is Ctrl+Alt+. Now first thing is I have to search for twitter in the 1Password Mini. And then though the focus is in the username filed the type it in is grayed out. Please review.

My apologies, I tested my Twitter app but it wasn't the Twitter app from Microsoft Store. Microsoft Store/UWP apps currently do not show up in Type in Window list, it is something we will try to add in a future update.

We really want Auto-Type too. We've got a lot of important stuff in the works at the moment that needs our attention, and we can't prioritize Auto-Type above all else, but it's definitely on our agenda. :)

Twitter is a fascinating IT case study - started as a fully open social network focussed on very short status updates, it was destined to be 'the dial tone of the Internet', the way every person can contact and follow every other, with minimum bandwidth. But its openness meant that most activity was accomplished by third party clients and at some point Twitter woke up and wondered how it was going to make money, in order to survive. At which point its APIs started to contract - in 2019, the vast majority of Twitter access is via first party clients and the Web, meaning that it's in control of ads and sponsored posts and the like. But what of accessing Twitter from a Windows 10 Mobile phone after the API clampdown last summer?

Although there are far less third party clients than there used to be, you still have several options, as shown below. The biggest sticking point is likely to be support for DM (Direct Messages) - not everyone uses them, but some (including me) depend on them. And it's annoying to have something urgent come in via DM and not know about it because I'm on Windows 10 Mobile and don't get notified in a prominent way. Yes, buried in Twitter's own settings (per account) is 'SMS notifications', but these only seem to work in selected countries (not including the UK) and I expect even this facility to be withdrawn in due course.

Yes, Tweetium UWP still works, despite Twitter's massive API change last summer. It's rather hamstrung though, in that there's no 'push' functionality, affecting both the timeline and (more critically) the DM system, which now shows a rather sad 'Something went wrong'.

Still, if you ignore DMs and want Twitter more to see what's going on in the world and what people are saying about your latest updates (etc.) then Tweetium works surprisingly well. Your timeline is still auto-refreshed, it's just that it's not strictly real-time, it's on a one minute 'poll', etc. For most of us, that's absolutely fine though.

This is a packaged PWA and essentially the same as if visiting mobile.twitter.com, though you do escape the Edge browser furniture. It's very useable and has the huge advantage that, being a first party solution, there's full support for whatever Twitter decides it wants to do or push. And DMs show up, of course, making this your best bet if Twitter DM is a form of messaging that you rely on, even if only for on-demand checking.

Seemingly a custom web wrapper around the Twitter PWA, this adds a control for 'top' and 'bottom' of your timeline (the latter to the oldest loaded), a 'jump list' of searched terms, a pop-out 'new tweet' window, and an 'Unfollow non-followers' utility.

dabr.co.uk has been an option since the early days of Twitter and, indeed, the early days of web browsing on phones, the idea being to provide a fully functional interface with the absolute minimum of bandwidth and with no extra software needed. Here it is running in Edge (though really it could be any web browser since the year 2000....!)

Unsurprisingly, the Twitter API change also hit this in terms of DM access, but the rest still works and with a variety of interface colours and customisations. And still needs only kilobytes to work, not Megabytes, should you be in an area of limited bandwidth.

I do 'get' that Twitter is trying to get everyone onto their first party clients and interfaces for 'modern' OS, so Android and iOS are the only ones that get a proper Direct Message notification system. But since it's quite easy to 'scrape' a web interface these days, I'd love to see a Windows 10 UWP app (e.g. for Mobile) that scraped the DM system in Twitter's PWA interface in the background and presented the results, along with suitable notifications when new messages arrived. Now there's a challenge for a developer!

I live in a very very good country that twitter and facebook and many more websites has been banned by government , by the way I want to use native apps from windows 10 (store apps) of those social networks .

When I use other proxy softwares like Cisco AnyConnect or Kerio VPN Client I can by pass barriers but for some reasons I have not access to accounts for those clients and I want to use public softwares like FreeGate or Psiphon. But when I open apps after launching freegate or psiphon they can not bypass banned restrictions for twitter and facebook apps in windows 10, I used Group Policy Edit for Internet apps and

I was wondering just because I use MDT to perform LiteTouch which checks in with WSUS during the installation. I disabled the service in Computer Configuration - Policies - Windows Settings - Security Settings - System Services.

My mistake, my GPO was being applied only to users, when this was a computer config setting. I fixed that and now I see the windowsstore key with settings as you described them. There is a difference now! - while the icons still appear, when you click on them now, it directs you to the windows store to download them, where as before it would open them right up. It would appear that I now need a way to remove those shortcuts from the start menu now. Do you know how to do this?

I am getting web notifications from twitter from chrome in Windows 11 desktop. They appear in the right bottom of the screen and I can see last 20 notifications.When I click this notification it opens it in chrome provided no other twitter Tab is open in chrome. Else the already open chrome twitter Tab flashes but it fails to show this notification in twitter in detail.The notification is lost in this process.So every time I have to remember to close the last twitter Tab in chrome for this and many times I forget to do so.Any change in permissions is needed to let more twitter tabs get opened from this notification.

I manage a couple of twitter accounts for businesses/websites that are separate from my personal account. For simplicity, I prefer to log in from an incognito window so that I don't need to log out of my primary (personal) twitter account.

I was shocked when I recently logged into one of the secondary accounts in an incognito window, closed the window, and later was logged into that secondary account when visiting twitter in the non-incognito main window.

I did some testing, and found that the auto-login occurs regardless of whether I'm currently signed in to twitter or not in the main browser session, any time I sign in via the incognito window. If I leave the incognito window open and log into a different account, the primary browser session also switches to that twitter account.

After some additional poking around, I decided to disable any extensions I had enabled in incognito mode, to determine if that was related. The problem disappeared with all extensions disabled. The only 2 extensions I had given permission to operate in incognito mode were Adblock and HTTPS Everywhere. I enabled each of them individually, and the problem only occurs when HTTPS Everywhere is enabled. I further established that the problem only appears to happen on Twitter. Logging into a different Facebook, Gmail, or Reddit account in incognito mode (with HTTPS Everywhere enabled) did not affect the login status in the primary browser session.
