Amid all the hubbub over Twitter's recent IPO filing, word on the 'net is that the not-so-little birdie may be releasing a series of mobile updates.
A new app rollout isn't too far off though, especially since Twitter recently asked users to sign up for its Android beta program to squash out bugs.
Twitter will release a small app update following Apple's September 18 iOS 7 release, sources for AllThingsD claimed, and a larger update will hit the airwaves sometime later.
With the Facebook interface always morphing, Yahoo's recent logo switch and Google's own purportedly impending logo change, it's not surprising Twitter feels the need for a refresh to stay current.
Pictures, pictures, pictures
According the The New York Times, the Twitter app will update the tweet stream to be more visually appealing.
Pictures and videos in your Twitter stream will be displayed automatically without the need to click and expand, much like the Discover tab, for an image-heavy experience.
Additionally, the Times says Twitter will take cues from iOS 7 and aim for a crisper and cleaner look to "feel more alive."
The mobile update will also include the ability to swipe from stream to stream, and do away with the four buttons on the bottom, for seamlessness that allows for more content and less interface.
Finally, Twitter is said to be experimenting with a stream for TV-related tweets and conversations only.
While such a feature would help viewers connect in real time while watching their favorite shows, the main purpose of the TV-dedicated stream would be to help first-time users jump into the fray after seeing "#" and "@" during commercials, according to ATD.
