Twitter Introduces Immersive Media Viewer

Twitter is launching a full-screen "immersive" video player for watching clips.

The standard "swipe up" gesture is used to scroll, while a back arrow in the upper left corner is used to exit the viewer to return to the original tweet.

The new feature will only appear in Twitter's iOS app for now, but the company said a similar update for Android could be available in "the coming weeks.”

In addition, Twitter is also testing changes to get more people interested in video content on its platform. The company is experimenting with a new section for video recommendations on its Twitter Explore page. They will be "available to people in select countries using Twitter in English on iOS and Android.”
