Twitter_Update_Conversations

Twitter has been firing out some really nice updates to their native Android app at a pretty regular rate lately, and continued the trend with an update today which will bring improved conversations and new notification settings. The update makes it much easier to follow conversation threads, as each tweet is linked to the one above it, giving it a much more natural look and feel. It's definitely a nice addition, because the app was certainly missing the feature. The update also applies to the Twitter site. Here are some more things provided in the update:

Optimization for entry-level Android smartphones
Report Tweets as abusive or spam
New notification settings
Bug fixes for direct messages, login verification and more

It's a staged roll-out so you might not get it quite yet— but check the Google Play link after the break to see if its arrived for your device. There's also a video by Twitter about the new conversations feature below.
