Twitter injects Android and iOS apps with improved security, photo galleries

Pictures pretty enough to tweet

Twitter is setting its sights on phishermen around the globe with the latest update to the Android and iOS apps.

If you haven't been party to it yourself, you probably know at least a friend or two on Twitter who've had their accounts hacked.

Additionally, Twitter is sprucing up the search options on the Android and iOS apps, and will now include social connections and photo galleries in the results.

Searches will auto-fill based on your relation to users, providing a bit of context to how you're connected to certain people on your account, and will also feature photos, which has been tweaked to show all images in an Instagram-esque gallery, rather than the previous thumbnail view.

In iOS, that same gallery style can be viewed on an individual user's account, enabling you to see all the pictures that person has posted to Twitter from one convenient spot.

Lists can now be managed from the app as well, but that feature has been wildly underutilized on the service to this point.

While it's nice to see Twitter taking the time to put more effort into that feature, perhaps it should be more focused on bringing the same functionality in the app to all devices.
