Photo-sharing on social network sites have had to compete with mainly-photo apps like Instagram, Snapchat, etc who had a wider range of options when it comes to editing and adding filters to your precious mobile pics. And with the demise of Twitpic (whose domain and archives were bought by Twitter), sharing pictures on Twitter became a bit more simple but boring. Until now, that is, as the micro-blogging site introduces much better pic filters that of course looks a lot like Instagram.
Back in 2012, Twitter actually introduced filters for pictures, but it left much to be desired since the choices were limited and viewing the pic when the filter was applied wasn't that pleasant, some users complained. This time around, they claim to have improved much on both the choices and the process as well.
When you add a picture to your Tweet, click on the photo and it will show you the filter options in a swipeable line. You have Radian, Positive, Warm, Breeze, Glow, Golden, Fame, and Stark options. Once you've chosen your filter, just double tap it and it will give you an adjustable slider so you can fix the density of the filter you've chosen.
If you don't see this update yet on Twitter, don't panic just yet. The changes will be rolling out starting today so it might take a bit of time to reach everyone. In the meantime, you can still do your filters on the hundreds of other picture sharing apps out there, with just the added step on posting it on Twitter through the app. If you want to do this on Twitter directly, you can still use the old method or wait for the new (and hopefully) better one.
