The update adds support for the Twitter V2 API, adding interface options for polls and cards for the first time, and adjusts the timeline view and adds support for more tweet data. There are new “@” and “#” buttons when composing a tweet, as well as new options for app icons and more UI themes.
With API changes, there are no more options for URL shortening and image / video upload options, and Chrome and Firefox are browser options when opening links. Going forward, Tweetbot will be able to adopt all the features that Twitter makes available with its V2 API, so it should no longer be so far behind the official Twitter application when it comes to functionality.
Tweetbot 6 is now a subscription-based application and will require a subscription fee of $ 0.99 per month or $ 5.99 per year to unlock the full functionality of the application. Multiple accounts, advanced filtering options and push notifications are premium features that will be available with a subscription. The free version of the app is read-only and does not support tweeting.
Tweetbot 6 can be downloaded from the App Store for free, but an in-app subscription is required to access all functionality. [Direct Link]
