Twitter has been trying to get back in the game so to speak and regain some of its lost glory back from when it was one of the foremost social media apps out there.

The web version of the social media platform is also getting some sweet camera upgrades. You will basically be able to use the camera and get a separate window of sorts within the same frame that will feature tweets broken up into a conversation that is much easier to follow.
