Once you launch Twitter, you are required to insert your user credentials. It also enables you to reset the password by redirecting you to a specific page using the default web browser, as well as create a new Twitter account. After that, you can allow the application to run in the background so you can view all the notifications on the lock screen.

The main app window displays all the available tweets and helps you get videos, conversations, pictures, and ideas in your timeline. You can also write your own tweets and display them in real-time. What’s more, you can upload a personal picture from your library or uploaded it from your camera and set your network localization.

What's new in Twitter for Windows 10/8 7.0.0.0:
New:

• DM Search: There have been a number of improvements made to DM search, allowing you to search across all conversations instead of ones you’ve recently viewed. Read more here.
• Fleets: You can now navigate across Fleet threads in the Fleet viewer screen. Whenever you view a Fleet that’s part of a larger thread, you’ll have access to the whole thread. We’ve also enabled the ability to navigate to embedded entities like Tweets, and the reporting flow for Fleets.
• Spaces: You can now listen to Spaces on Twitter.com! Start listening by hopping in from the Spaces shared in Tweets. See more here.
• Topics: The Topics to follow sidebar is now available for everyone. This will give you more visibility into Topics you may be interested in.
• Verification: We’re relaunching the ability to request verification on Twitter.com! Look for the new flow from within the “Settings and privacy” and “Your account” menus. You can read more about the relaunch and process here.

Updated:

• Accessibility: Improved the structure of the keyboard shortcuts menu so that it’s more easily understood by screen readers.
• DMs: We’ve made improvements to how we handle DM search terms that are empty and improved the alt-text for the close search button.
• DMs: The DM search results will now properly paginate instead of returning a maximum number of results.

• Internationalization: Resolved inconsistencies in translations when using “Tweet” as either a noun or a verb.

• Tweets: Updated social context styling for unsent Tweets to match what will ultimately be rendered in timelines.

Fixed:

• Lists: The error screen will no longer flash if data is taking a bit longer to load.
• Quick Promote: Swapping your selected gender via the radio buttons will no longer leave your selection empty.
• Topics: The Topics to Follow sidebar will no longer display when empty or when in an error state.
