Twitter for Mac disappears from Mac App Store [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2024-08-01

Twitter's official MacOS desktop app was finally removed from the App Store this morning. Though functional, it lacked new features and was clearly a dead letter. At The Verge, Thomas Ricker adds that "The Mac app now prompts users to "upgrade" to the iPad version of X, which is a worse experience."

He probably just fired the people who worked on it and it eventually became a problem. Twitter is a much smaller company than that it once was.

Previously:

• App replaces Twitter with Kindle

• Twitter sinks in app store ranking and general findability after 'X' rebrand

• Apple relents; Twitter is now X in the app store
