Twitter is currently in the process of testing ways to improve photo and video experiences on the popular social media platform. 

Through its Twitter Support handle, Twitter announced that in the coming weeks it will be testing the improvement of the quality of photos a user can upload on the platform, including those of 4K quality.   

“Sometimes it's better said with a picture or a video. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be testing some ways to improve how you can share and view media on Twitter,” said Twitter. 

It added, “Now testing on Android and iOS: when you Tweet a single image, how the image appears in the Tweet composer is how it will look on the timeline - bigger and better.” 

Those who will be included in the trial phase before the giant tech company decides to adopt it or not have been asked to update their high-quality preferences in the settings.

“Have a collection of higher res photos waiting to be shared? We’re testing ways for you to upload and view 4K images on Android and iOS. 

“If you're in the test, update your high-quality image preferences in “Data usage” settings to get started.” 

Many Twitter users have been complaining over how the platform compresses photos and videos, especially 4K, they upload hence reducing their quality and user experience.
