The New Design Of Twitter Has To Be Changed After Many Complaints.

Later, the social network might "feel weird at first," but it increases content consumption and "removes visual clutter."

But many, especially those with accessibility, find it confusing, difficult to read, and uncomfortable. "It's smaller and denser now, which means I have to strain my eyes more to read," wrote one user. Another said, "It's impossible to read when you have poor eyesight and processing problems."

A few days later, a tweet from the tech giant's accessibility account said, "We made changes to the contrast of all the buttons to make them easier to see because you told us the new display is uncomfortable for people with touch sensitivity. "

The next day it said, "We're having an issue with the Chirp font for Windows users and are actively working to fix it."

Twitter promises future changes and "reviews all font ratings in response to users wishing to choose their font." When the new font was announced in January, Twitter branding boss Derrit DeRouen said it was designed by Swiss manufacturer Grilli "to improve the way we convey emotion and imperfection" - and the widespread standard Helvetica font is "not for work."

This is not responsible for the content of external sites. See the original tweet on Twitter. But now this thread is full of replies urging Twitter to use Helvetica - or whatever the user's default system font is.

However, social media companies often face change.

Twitter users initially rejected the 2014 redesign and later complained about its replacement in 2017. Snapchat saw a similar reaction in 2018. Facebook users have reacted badly to changes over the years - both in design and algorithms that feed its messages and dictate what users see.
