Twitter urges users to share tweets via Twitter after taking a screenshot – IT Pro – News

Twitter is testing a pop-up notification which is supposed to encourage iOS users to share a Twitter message via the Twitter platform after previously capturing it. It is unclear whether the pop-up notification will eventually be distributed to all users.

A Twitter spokesperson confirmed the test at TechCrunch and states that for the moment it is a test with iOS users. It is unclear whether the company wants to test Android users as well. The company says it wants to inform its users about other ways they can share a post on Twitter, in addition to taking a screenshot. According to TechCrunch, this pop-up notification fits into Twitter’s plans to keep the most active users on its platform. After all, they could lead to more revenue.

Not all users will see the same message. Some iOS users will only see an option to generate a link from a Twitter message via the pop-up, others can share the Tweet directly to Twitter via the pop-up.
