Twitter testing better image previews, 4K image uploads on Android and iOS - Android

Twitter has announced that it has started testing a new feature with a small subset of iOS and Android features. This new feature is aimed at improving the image preview functionality on smartphones. The main goal of the company is to deliver a streamlined browsing experience so that users do not have to open images to check them completely.

In the current situation, Twitter automatically crops all photos shared on the platform unless the image has a 16:9 aspect ratio. This resulted in users having to tap on the photo to see all the details. Another issue with the auto-cropping is related to the algorithm's preference for showing a particular type of photo content. It has even been accused of being racial as it has been found to be preferring white faces over black.

Today we’re launching a test to a small group on iOS and Android to give people an accurate preview of how their images will appear when they Tweet a photo. pic.twitter.com/cxu7wv3Khs
