Official Twitter app for Windows Phone finally gets Notifications in latest update

The offiical Twitter app'south new Toast push button-notification in activity

If there was i nagging issue with the official Twitter app for Windows Phone, it was the disability to get Toast notifications for new mentions or re-Tweets. Even after receiving a new update just 3 weeks agone, there was still no sign of any of these avant-garde features.

And then we were a tiny scrap flabbergasted to actually come across a new notification section in the latest update, version i.2.4555.39631 (or but v1.5 in the Marketplace) which merely went alive tonight. The updated Notification surface area has the following options

Mentions - Off, From people you follow, From anyone
Favorited -Off, From people you follow, From anyone
retweets -Off, From people you follow, From anyone
Straight messages
New followers

That'due south actually a fairly robust choice of possible notifications for Twitter these days and yes, they are the Push button type i.e. nearly instant. What's more than, while there is seemingly no Live Tile counter, the Tiles does flip to show yous new mentions or notifications in addition to the Toast alerts (which work quite fast from our feel).

While there is no counter, the Live Tile flips to prove mentions

While it may have taken nearly 2 years to get this feature on Twitter, we are just going to sit in awe at present and enjoy what we have.

Pick upwards the official Twitter app (v1.5) for Windows Telephone at present in the Marketplace. Thank you, Osvaldo C., for the tip
