Twitter for the iPhone and iPad has been updated to include some new features and a better experience.

A new Quick Bar lets you quickly see trends at the top of your timeline. The uploading of photos is easier, a camera button added to the toolbar and the image preview improved.

You can find which of your friends are on Twitter that have chosen to be discoverable through the contacts on your phone. The new Direct Message conversation view helps you keep better track of messages.

When you want to share a link on Twitter, just paste it into the Tweet box and it will  automatically be shortened. The New Tweet" screen has been redesigned  so it's now cleaner and simpler.

Twitter for the iPhone or iPad can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store, or visit twitter.com/download.
