Twitter for iOS, Android updated with new Search button and performance improvements

Twitter recently rolled an update for its embedded tweets feature on the Web that makes it easier and faster to embed tweets. Now, the microblogging site has updated its iOS (version 5.3) and Android (version 3.7.0) clients with additional search functionality and other performance improvements that claim an overall faster user experience

With this update, users can now load Vine videos right within the app without having to open a separate page to load the video.  The inline Vine video feature is a result of some technical solutions that actually seems to work in a rather clean manner.Further the app now also has native support for output through AirPlay and sports a full-screen view for videos.

Flickr has got some much needed attention as well. Tweetbot now displays images right inside the app's native interface, with the option to save or copy the photo, view its original website, or tweet out a link to it. This comes only a couple of months after Flickr underwent a major overhaul and rolled out a brand new iOS app.

Tweetbot now supports Google Chrome's iOS browser, which means that users can choose to open an external link from within the app in Safari, Chrome or 1Password. The update has also added better support to mute tweets with URLs.
