A report published Thursday out of Ireland, reveals that an open beta of Twitter's Windows Phone 8.1 app has a number of new features, including greater integration with the platform than the current Twitter app. For example, the Twitter beta allows pictures tweeted by you to be viewed on the Photos Hub. Also, the 'Share to' is back, allowing link sharing with third party apps.
Other features on the open beta include integration with the Me Tile. Post a status update and the Twitter compose screen will appear. And instead of forcing you to wade through all of your past replies to get to your latest mention, when you auto-refresh, you will now see the latest mention first. Of course, the proverbial performance enhancements are also part of the new app.
The unannounced open beta has been shut tight by Twitter after it was spotted in the Windows Phone Store. But enough of it has leaked out to get Windows Phone 8 users even more excited about the upcoming update to Windows Phone 8.1.
