The micro blogging site released the latest version of Twitter for Android. It includes some of the most commonly requested features from its loyal users.

Android owners will now get to enjoy the same mobile Twitter features as the iPhone users have been reveling in for months! Twitter for Android supports multiple Twitter accounts, updated home screen widgets, assorted bug fixes and allows you to receive push notifications which are essentially real-time, automatic updates.

Users who want to try out the sleek new features can go to Account Settings, choose Automatic Refresh and select whether they want to receive updates for Direct Messages, Tweets or @Replys (from the people you follow or anyone)

With the multiple accounts sign in feature, users can switch between multiple Twitter accounts without signing out and signing back in.

It’s seriously about time for both of these features; Android leads the platform share amongst smartphone users, even though almost nobody I know actually uses one.

While the updates are more than welcome news to the tweet-obsessed Android community, it’s still a bittersweet arrival for Android enthusiasts.

Despite Android currently being the clear leader in marketshare at the moment, Apple and its App Store remains the industry darling.
