Twitter Launches In-App Photo Filters

By TechTaffy Desk

[Techtaffy Newsdesk]

Twitter has launched filters that let you edit photos right from the Twitter app itself. Twitter introduced the ability to add photos to your tweets on June, last year.

The latest versions of Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for Android introduce a few new ways to enhance the images you tweet, courtesy Aviary.

There are currently eight filters, ranging from black & white to vintage, to add a new look and feel to your photos. You could also take a bird’s-eye view, and seee how each filter would affect your photo in a single grid view, or swipe through looks to compare your options. Other options include cropping, and pinching to zoom, besides auto-enhance.

By the way, Instagram has also released an update to its own app on Monday. You do believe in coincidences, right?
