Just a few of us at The Verge have observed one thing new about Twitter’s iOS app: once you pull all the way down to refresh your feed, you would possibly hear a few new noises. One is a little bit windup trill that performs once you first pull the feed, and after your feed is finished refreshing, you would possibly hear a brief affirmation chirp. (Although the sounds are extra robotic than any real-life chicken I’ve heard.)
I made a recording so you can hear what I’m hearing. It’s a little bit totally different from the brief “pop” you may need heard when refreshing earlier than.
We’re not precisely positive when the change kicked in, however we first observed it Friday afternoon, and we’ve seen a bunch of tweets concerning the new chirp from Friday as nicely. There are additionally a handful of tweets mentioning a chirp over the previous couple of weeks, which might imply that Twitter has been rolling it out slowly forward of an even bigger launch.
This seemingly isn’t an iOS-only change. One Verge staffer on Android is often listening to the second new noise I described, and some of the tweets I’ve discovered concerning the chirp have been despatched from Android.
If you wish to hear the noise for your self in your telephone, simply attempt pulling all the way down to refresh your feed. Should you don’t hear it, attempt pressure closing the Twitter app and opening it once more (that is what labored for me), and ensure you’re on the newest model of the app. We’re undecided how broadly that is rolled out, so chances are you’ll not have the sounds simply but even when you attempt these steps.
Now, when you’ll excuse me, I’m going to refresh the app to listen to the beautiful new sounds once more. And once more. Perhaps only one extra time. Final time, I promise…
