Twitter iOS app readies for iOS 7 with new update

Coinciding with today’s iOS 7 launch, Twitter released a new update to usher in the new iOS version. While it looks largely unchanged, there is a new flat toolbar on top and new buttons to tap on.

Other new iOS features that integrate with Twitter include the use of the #music hashtag on iTunes Radio to find music that is currently trending on Twitter; use of Siri to conduct searches on Twitter; and use Shared Links in Safari to access links other people have tweeted. Twitter has also confirmed that the update is compatible with iOS 6 and 5.
