Windows Phone (or Windows 10 Mobile) may not have tasted much success compared to Android or iOS, but that hasn’t stopped the enthusiastic developers from developing for this platform. With the promise of Universal Windows Apps (UWA) that run on everything from phones to tablets to even the Xbox and holographic displays, developers are slowly but surely embracing this platform.

This was obvious. The official Twitter app is still a good app for those who do just basic twittering and do not have much use for some of the advanced features offered by third-party cpents. This apppcation offers a near native Web experience, so people who frequent the website will find themselves at home.
The latest updates also feature multi-account support and most importantly, two-factor authentication for additional security. The best advantage of using this app is that it is not affected by backend changes to the Twitter API, which can sometimes break third-party cpents – and that also means, no issues with the token pmit.
