In fact, he is not the only victim of these changes implemented in the Twitter API, but it is one of the first third-party applications to manage the social network that is updated by eliminating some of the functions that this API has on the truck.
One of the harshest and most annoying Tweetbot users is removal of immediate notifications and timeline via WiFi connection, which means that the streaming now will not be instantaneous and we will have to wait 1 or 2 minutes until the new tweets appear in our timeline. But the bad news does not stop there and there is more ...
Not a good update at all
Another option that is lost with this new update is the possibility of having the app on the Apple Watch complete, in this way the Activity and Statistics have been eliminated from the Apple Watch. On the other hand, delays in mentions, direct messages, notifications, retweets, appointments, people who follow us, likes and others will be seen in the iOS app but with a noticeable delay.
Today, after the official announcement of Tapbots himself, this great Twitter client you will lose fluency in several of your best features and therefore those of us who are using this app to manage our account or social network accounts will notice great changes. The developers with Tapbots at the helm have already warned of the changes for the worse and apologized for it by uploading directly to Twitter as responsible for it:
On August 16, Twitter will deactivate parts of its public interface that we use in Tweetbot. Because Twitter has chosen not to provide options to these interfaces, we have been forced to disable or downgrade certain features. We are sorry, but unfortunately this is within our control.
And pay attention to those of us who are users of the client on Mac because we will be the next to receive these changes. But it is not only about Tweetbot, all third-party applications that are capable of managing the social network will be affected and many of them have already eliminated functions to avoid problems, we are talking about clients such as Twitterrific, Tweetings or Talon, among others.
