With Instagram’s reels becoming the most followed trend, and Tiktok becoming the most popular web platform in the year 2021, how can Twitter stay behind?

There has been an announcement from Twitter that it will be testing a new feature called Tweet Takes. This feature will allow tweeples to post photos and videos of themselves while reacting to tweets in addition to the standard text-tweets.

The feature is currently being tested just on iOS. Users with iOS users will be able to access a Quote Tweet with reaction button on the retweet menu. Once the users click on the button, they will be directed to a screen that has a copy of the tweet on a photo or video that the user has clicked, captured or selected from his/her camera roll. Users can edit, crop or resize the images as well.

Other people’s Tweet Takes can be seen by tapping on the search icon. Similar to Instagram’s Reel feature, the users can keep on exploring more Tweet Takes by sliding the screen up.

Twitter has also made another announcement. A new composer bar has also been introduced. This composer bar will enable Twitter users to create tweets from their timeline homepages but they will not have to navigate to a separate compose screen. This feature will be located just above the navigation menu, at the bottom of mobile screens. Just like Twitter Takes, this feature is also being tested on iOS only.

The feature, which was much expected to launch on Twitter sooner or later, is being said to be very much alike the Instagram’s Reel feature, as well as, Tiktok.

Based on the feedback of the users, Twitter will decide whether Twitter Takes will stay permanently or not.

In October, 2021, Twitter has also introduced a feature called Spaces, where live audio conversation can take place.
