Twitter is the place for lot of Internet to access information and trending updates across globe however there are several barriers to using the platform like slow mobile networks, expensive data plans and low storage space. Understanding the consumer insight company last year launched a Lite version of their app. Extending the insight, the feature of Data Saver on web interface sounds wise a step. Along with launching Lite in 21 more countries recently, the platform appears to be targeting the the demographic who were previously not found to be serviceable.
Inserting the night mode, which is comparatively easier on the eyes might contribute to the user’s well being while still letting them use Twitter as much as they want.
