Twitter has once again tweaked its iPhone and Android apps, bringing back a few popular features that were ejected from previous versions. Android and iPhone users will once again be able to swipe a tweet to display the toolbar, which lets you reply, retweet, share or view the tweeter's profile without leaving the timeline. The app will also now tell you specifically if it's checking the contact list on your mobile device to see who's on Twitter.
iPhone users will also be able to copy and paste the text of tweets and user profiles by pressing down on the content until "Copy" pops up, and will see more options when the "Share" button is pushed. There's also better management of direct messages. Meanwhile, Android users will be happy that the new version is optimised for Ice Cream Sandwich.
