It is possible that Twitter is working on a new layout that will make it seem more like Facebook.

 Jane Manchun Wong, a well-known technology investigator, reported on Thursday that Twitter seems to be working on a new timeline structure for its mobile application. As an alternative to the existing style, which allows photos to have a margin around them, the new layout will allow images to be big enough to reach the borders of your phone's display.


User profile pictures will be relocated in order to allow for the new way in which images are presented, as seen in Wong's snapshot of the possible modifications to the site. As opposed to being shown next to the text of a tweet, profile pictures will be displayed above the text of a tweet, next to the profile name and username.

As Wong pointed out, the design of reply tweets does not seem to have been changed by the redesign, with a grey line still connecting them to the tweet they're replying to and the margin still there. This, however, is subject to change at any time. Twitter's redesign is still in the early stages of development, and there is no assurance that it will be published soon — or even that it will be launched at all — if at all.




Twitter has responded to Mashable's request for comment. However, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has already replied to Wong's post, stating that the update is "much better," giving even more credibility to her historically solid reverse engineering work. Wong has provided correct information on the subscription service Twitter Blue before it was ever officially launched by the company.
