Twitter’s tests involving a new mobile interface that would do away with the app’s standard four buttons in favor of a “swipeable” menu at the top, have come to a halt. Previously, users on Android’s beta testing program were using an unreleased version of the application which let you move through a number of streams, includingHome, Notifications, Messages, Activity, Trending, Find People, and Me, for example. The changes beta users could see, as reported by The New Yorker this September, were a hint of what was to come in what would soon be a radical overhaul of the Twitter user interface. Said the report at the time: Twitter will dispense with its hallmark menufour buttons at the bottom of the screenwhich lets users toggle between different sections of the service: Home, Connect, Discover, and Me. Instead, users will swipe from stream to stream to stream. The streams themselves will be both airier and more immersive, consuming more of the screen; they will show more content and less interface.(A new version of its Android appjust emergedwhich offers a taste of the new look.) The design had a brighter, almost iOS 7-like feel, hinting that what Android beta testers were seeing could potentially become the new public build that would be pushed across both Android and iOS platforms, as the company attempted to better unify its product versions across devices. But in an update to both the alpha and beta builds this week, Twitter rolled back these changes, reverting testers to the older user interface where four black buttons (Timeline, @ Replies, Discover, and Me) have again returned. They are at the top of the screen in these builds, not the bottom as on iOS. The alpha version of Twitter, which was openedup for public signups just this month, is focused on improving the Android experience across a wide range of devices, including those with poor connectivity, from what we’re hearing. The current app offers a combination of public and pre-released features, including the ability for users to reply, retweet, favorite and follow others directly from their Twitter timeline, which is a newer addition to the public release. Alpha users also have a different looking Discover section, where trends are available in both detail and list views, the former to give a bit more context to a trend by providing a sample tweet or two. And a new pop-up is appearing on
