Facebook being number one, twitter is next,
being the second most popular social media platform with over 302 million
active users monthly. So if you want to get the best out of twitter, here are
some few tips and tricks you’ll need:
1. ADD OR
REMOVE YOUR LOCATION
The moment you start typing and want to tweet, if you
observe carefully, you’ll see a map pin icon down in the lower left hand
corner. To attach your location to your tweet, simply tap this icon. Although
this can be fun, you should be careful about revealing you whereabouts to the
general public. Go to the general settings tab to fully activate your location
2. TURN OFF
IMAGE PREVIEWS
Image preview comes by default with twitter and it displays
thumbnail images right on your timeline whenever they are attached to a tweet.
This might chop up some space, making you want to the feature off, saving some
room for display. To effect this change, go to the app menu, tap
settings>general image previews and then revert it to picture links.
3. REFINE
SEARCHES
Although the search option on your android device might
not display nicely as it displays on web browser, you still have the option to
refine your results without stress. To do this, just tap the icon on the search
result screen that is showing two sliders. Once this is done, note that you can
limit your query to videos, photos, people, news and lots more. You can also
look for nearby tweets.
4. MANAGE
MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
With Twitter
Android app, you can run multiple accounts right from the same screen, and this
is very helpful when you have a series of account, maybe an account for
personal use and another for promotional. Get this done by locating the app
menu, tap on accounts then add up an account to get started. You can also
switch account from this menu.
5. MAKE IT
EASIER FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO FIND YOU
Your visibility on twitter is in your palms as you decide
if finding you would be an easy task or a hard one for people. There are a
whole lot of ways other twitter users can find you. To determine your
visibility on twitter, locate the app menu and tap general. Then enable if you
want other users to find you or not via email or mobile number.

APP NOTIFICATIONS
Twitter notifications can be annoying sometimes as you
can receive hundreds of notifications in a day, depending on who you are following.
Twitter is a very busy app, and if you enable notifications, you’ll not rest as
there will be a lot of notifications disturbing you all the time, some of which
you don’t need.
To customize your notifications, locate settings from the
app menu, tap on your Twitter handle then choose Mobile notifications. From
here you can determine which notification you’ll need and even turn off the
notifications completely.
7. LIMIT THE
"WHILE YOU WERE AWAY" FEATURE
If you Login to Twitter on your Android smartphone, you
will see a "While You Were Away" panel. The function of this panel is
to collect the best tweets posted since your last visit. This can’t be
disabled, but can be minimized. To minimize it, tap the cross icon then let
Twitter know you don't like seeing the feature on the next dialog.

YOUR WIDGET

also grants you access fully to tweet as well as other options for tweeting.
Note that only the bigger widget (4x2) can be reset.
