A couple of of us at The Verge have seen one thing new about Twitter’s iOS app: once you pull all the way down to refresh your feed, you may hear a couple of new noises. One is a little windup trill that performs once you first pull the feed, and after your feed is completed refreshing, you may hear a brief affirmation chirp. (Though 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 totally different from the brief “pop” you might need heard when refreshing earlier than.
We’re not precisely positive when the change kicked in, however we first seen it Friday afternoon, and we’ve seen a bunch of tweets in regards to the new chirp from Friday as properly. 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 a greater 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 a few of the tweets I’ve discovered in regards to the chirp had been despatched from Android.
If you wish to hear the noise for your self in your cellphone, simply attempt pulling all the way down to refresh your feed. If 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 extensively that is rolled out, so you could not have the sounds simply but even in the event you attempt these steps.
Now, in the event you’ll excuse me, I’m going to refresh the app to listen to the stunning new sounds once more. And once more. Maybe only one extra time. Last time, I promise…
