Android, iOS Users Can Now Tweet Pictures In 4K Quality

To do so, a user should go to the data usage section of their Twitter’s setting and enable both ‘high-quality images’ and ‘high-quality upload.

Users can also select if they want the high resolution on both cellular and Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi.

According to the announcement, making changes only affect those using the bird app on Android and iOS. Twitter’s web app has already supported the high-quality image; It supports up to 4096 x 4096 resolution.

Twitter creates a testing tool to fix image cropping

Twitter has created a solution to image cropping issues.

It announced in March to be testing a tool ‘what you see is what you get,’ that would enable users to preview within the tweet’s compose box before uploading.

This would enable a user to experiment with full-frame images.

When uploaded, the picture would look like how it looked when you were trying to upload the tweet. With a tool like that, there would be no surprises.
