Twitter Announces New Photo Features

Written by Julie Lyons | Apr 23, 2014 4:30:00 PM

Twitter has recently rolled out two new mobile features that make photos on Twitter more social. One is photo tagging, which lets you tag the people in your photo; the other is the ability to include up to four photos in a Tweet.

The two latest features include:

Tag People in Twitter Photos

Similar to Facebook, Twitter users can now tag people in photos. You can tag up to 10 people in a photo, as long as their privacy settings allow, and those users will get a notification that they’ve been tagged. Tagging does not affect character count in the Tweet. 

Share Multiple Photos in a Single Tweet
Twitter now allows users to post multiple photos in a single tweet which creates a collage. You can share up to 4 photos per tweet without additional character limit consequences. Previously, you could only upload one image per tweet. 

Just tap on a preview to get the full image and slide through the group. Whether you’re on iPhone, Android or twitter.com, you can view Tweets with multiple photos.
