While there were unexpected developments between Elon Musk and Twitter, the social media platform announced that it would close an application. It was stated that the Mac version of the TweetDeck service, which is used for Twitter account management, will be canceled. So why is Twitter shrinking TweetDeck, which it spent $40 million on?
TweetDeck Mac application is canceled
Twitter continues to shrink its software used as a social media clipboard. TweetDeck was originally announced for Windows and Mac. However, with a sudden decision taken in 2016, support for Windows software was withdrawn. Now a similar scenario will apply to the Mac version.
According to the statement from the social media giant, July 1 means goodbye to TweetDeck for Mac users. After July (similar to the Windows version), the application will not be updated and support will be discontinued. Therefore, using the TweetDeck Mac application may introduce security vulnerabilities.
Twitter actually seems to have changed their plans for TweetDeck. Even though the Mac app has been shut down, TweetDeck is still available on the web. Twitter, which wants to keep its social media management panel only on the web, will also begin to distribute more invitations to users for the new preview.
The statement shared by the company does not actually give much detail. However, the informational tweet revealed that they “want to focus on making TweetDeck even better and testing our new preview.”
We say goodbye to TweetDeck Mac to focus on making TweetDeck even better and testing our new preview. You can continue to use TweetDeck on the web, and more invitations to try the preview will be available in the next few months.
TweetDeck, which has been serving as a subsidiary of Twitter since May 2012, also made us curious with its new preview. However, it was claimed that the administration, which wants to make Twitter ‘paid’ through the Blue subscription, can also make TweetDeck for a fee.
