A number of social apps have turned to the Play Store to manage their betas. Weve already seen Facebook and Snapchat launch official beta versions to anyone who signs up for the privilege, and now Twitter is doing the same. If youve signed up for either of the other programs, the routine should feel pretty familiar. The experimental build will replace the current Twitter app on your phone, unlike the Chrome beta that can exist side-by-side with the stable release. Those who opt in will be greeted by a notification when the next build is ready. As this is a beta release, some features may never appear in the stable version, and some instability may appear that could eat your cat or infect your bed with bed bugs. Use at your own discretion.
Now that thats out of the way, heres what to do:
- Join this Google Group.
- Visit this link and click "Become a Tester" to opt into the program.
- Click "Download Twitter from the Play Store" to update your app
Have fun, and if you want to send feedback, heres process for doing so.
