Upcoming Twitter for iPhone update will allow you to browse your entire DM history

Twitter has announced that an upcoming update to its mobile clients will allow users to go back and review their entire direct message history. Currently the app only provides a limited look back, but that restriction will be removed in a new version that will also make deleting messages more reliable across its web and mobile platforms.

There’s still no word on whether this update will be the one to restore the inability to send links in direct messages, which has been an ongoing issue for several months now for many useres, while others are still able to send URLs in messages with no problem.

    As long as Twitter is limited to that microscopic font size for the iPhone, I will stick with Twitter v. 5.13, from when Twitter used a larger font size.

      The font size matches the one you choose in the Settings> If you want larger font, go to your settings and adjust the font size.

        Exactly what Shadi said. The Twitter iOS app supports Dynamic Text in the Settings application. Now only if Facebook would follow suit.

    What happened to Twitter for OSX? For a while it looked like they were back to keeping it up to date but now it’s way behind iOS.

  3. How will this affect companies who use tools like vWriter.com to keep their Twitter account(s) updated from RSS Feeds?
