Twitter today announced that it plans to stop supporting the Twitter for Mac app in order to focus its attention on a 'great Twitter experience that's consistent across all platforms.
Starting today, the Twitter for Mac app is no longer available for download, and in 30 days, Twitter plans to stop supporting it all together.
Twitter for Mac has never never received a lot of attention from Twitter. In 2015, the company announced plans to refocus its efforts on building new features into its Mac app after providing only sporadic updates over the last several years, but even after adding new features, the app was largely unpopular with Twitter users, earning only 1 and a half stars out of five in the App Store.
In recent months, Twitter has also been streamlining its apps. The discontinuation of the official Mac app follows Twitter's decision to remove the Twitter for Apple Watch app last September.
Twitter for Mac users who are looking for a desktop app experience rather than a web interface can use a third-party app such as Tweetbot or Twitterrific.
Starting today, the Twitter for Mac app is no longer available for download, and in 30 days, Twitter plans to stop supporting it all together.
The new Twitter for Mac app will use our existing iOS codebase, rather than being built from a separate codebase, following the same successful strategy we've used with Web to expand our supported clients. By supporting key Mac-specific behaviors on top of our iOS code, we will be able to maintain feature parity across our iOS and Mac apps with relatively low long term maintenance costs. Our built-in antivirus checked this Mac download and rated it as 100% safe. The most popular versions among Twitter for Mac users are 3.1, 2.2 and 2.1. The software is included in Communication Tools. The bundle id for this app is com.twitter.twitter-mac. The actual developer of this free Mac application is Twitter. Oct 11, 2019 The Twitter for Mac app is now live on the Mac App Store, but there’s a catch. Twitter’s latest app is available only on MacBooks and Mac PCs running macOS Catalina because that’s the only OS supporting the Catalyst framework.
Twitter says to get a 'full Twitter experience on Mac,' customers should visit Twitter on the web.
