Elon Musk had numerous changes in mind for Twitter’s social media platform as soon as he purchased it. Perhaps Twitter won’t be the same kind of social media site it once was. After all, Twitter is now officially owned and run by Elon Musk, who also serves as its CEO. He has now officially stated that he aims to remove the label indicating the platform from which a tweet was sent. For example, previously, tweets had labels like Twitter for the iPhone, Twitter for Android, and Twitter Web App.
Elon Musk recently tweeted that the “Twitter for iPhone” or “Twitter for Android” badge will soon be removed by the Twitter team since it is a “waste of screen space” and no one even knows why the feature was initially added. He did not specify a timeframe for when the changes will happen, though. As of writing this article, the label is still present.
Furthermore, he claims that less than 20% of the specified microservices bloatware is actually required for Twitter to work and that he has directed the Twitter staff to disable all of it. We’re not sure exactly sure of what he considers as “microservices”. But in addition to the device label being removed from social media platforms, several other changes are expected.
Twitter has recently undergone a lot of changes. Recently, an $8 monthly official Twitter Blue subscription that includes a Blue tick was made public. Another tag that distinguishes between official and non-official accounts was soon introduced. However, due to widespread misuse, Twitter had to temporarily halt its Twitter Blue membership services.
