After cutting off notable apps like Tweetbot and Twitterifi last week, I decided… Twitter Inc Completely block third-party applications.
The company has updated the Restrictions section of its developer agreement to now include a clause prohibiting the use or access to Licensed Materials to create or attempt to create an alternative or similar service or product to Twitter applications, according to what was reported by the “Arab Technical News Portal”.
Earlier this week, Twitter said it enforces long-standing rules for the application programming interface (API), and those rules stipulate that external applications should not be allowed to access its platform, but it did not specify which rules the developers had violated.

It is worth noting that Twitter’s external applications are an essential part of the platform’s history, as an application such as “Twitterific” was present in the iOS system even before Twitter launched its application for Apple’s operating system.
These apps have attracted a large number of users in recent years, thanks in part to the fact that they do not display ads.
Twitter’s attitude toward third-party apps has always been lenient and even supportive, as the company removed a section of its developer terms that prevented developers from duplicating its core service.
