No comments // Oct 12th, 2011 // iPhone, Social Media

If you are like me you would have been one of the first to download and install the latest iPhone upgrade. Also if you are like me you have been hanging out for the Twitter/iPhone integration and think the tight integration between iOS 5 and Twitter is one of the best reasons to upgrade.

Not only has Apple integrated Twitter into it’s OS but most importantly one of the new features for developers in the iOS 5 SDK is support for the Twitter API. Apple has made it easy for developers to add Twitter support to their apps and to allow users to easily control whether or not an app has access to post to their Twitter account.

So what features can you use right now?

Safari – Through Safari you now have the option to instantly tweet the website you are viewing on your iPhone or iPad

Youtube – Tweet Youtube videos directly from your iPhone or iPad to your followers

Photos & Location – Instantly add your location to a photo and Tweet. Simply snap a photo, click tweet and comment and click location and your iPhone will do the rest. Share photos with ease to your followers.

Twitter Notifications – The new notification options allows for improved push notifications that will have you turning push notifications on instead of off. Receive push notifications when you receive a message, retweet or mention. The choice is all yours!

Twitter Permissions – Have complete control over which apps have access to your Twitter account.

App Development – More and more iPhone/iPad apps will now become more Twitter friendly as developers will start to take full advantage of IOS 5 Twitter integration.
