Twitter says no to tweet screenshots

In recent weeks, users ofApps on Twitter have seen the functionality related to the publication of tweets not just updated. Yet recently, someone has reported an unusual situation when he tries to make one screenshot ad un tweet. In this case, in fact, the platform returns a message asking to share or copy the link content – as you can see in the image below -. But what is it really about?

Twitter: App rejects the screenshot of tweets

Strange situation on the Twitter App, which seems to refuse users the possibility of taking a screenshot of tweets, directing them to the two options for sharing and / or copying the link. Therefore, the possibility remains available to users to send tweets in DM, share them with the community, add them to bookmarks or share them via messages or third-party apps. But the screenshot appears to be completely banned. The reason? Convince users a spend more time on the platformor engage others on Twitter through sharing.

After all, if the App gave the possibility to take a screenshot to tweets and share them outside the platform, it would lose the attention and presence of its users. On the other hand, however, it is clear that for a user taking a screenshot is a very useful option, especially for sharing tweets with those who do not have a Twitter account. Furthermore, it is clear that this would also allow you to keep track of deleted tweets, so that you can have proven proof of what is shared by an account. But the Twitter app doesn’t seem to feel right. And we can not help but do what we are allowed.
