Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced that the Twitter feature, which in the past has resulted in penalties for some employees, will be removed. It will no longer be clear from which device the tweet was sent. So why will the Twitter for iPhone or Twitter for Android tag be removed?Elon Musk: It takes up space without meaning
Musk reported that the Twitter for iPhone/Android tag will be removed for stealing screen space. He also added that no one knows why this feature was brought to Twitter.
Device details were used several times to reveal employees promoting Android smartphones from iPhone. For example; In 2019, a Huawei employee tweeted a happy birthday to his followers, but he shared it from his iPhone. The screenshot of the tweet went viral and the employees involved were punished for damaging the Huawei brand.
Another example; Samsung employees also have a lot of tweets from iPhone. Not only brands, but also famous people were caught with the “Twitte for iPhone” tag while promoting Android phones they have used many times.
It is unknown when device tags will be removed; As of now, the feature is still in use.
