Twitter has made it
easier to log in or sign up on the micro-blogging platform. Its users can now
use their Apple ID or Google account to directly sign up/ log in. Twitter was
earlier spotted testing new sign in/ sign up options on its platform. New users
can now sign up with their Apple or Google accounts, but existing users would
need to make sure their registered email address on Twitter is the same as the
one on their Apple ID/ Google account.
The new functionality was announced through a tweet by
Twitter Support. It mentions that Twitterati can now log in or sign up to the
micro-blogging platform with either their Apple or Google accounts. The latter
works on the app and the Web while the former, Apple ID, only works on iOS
devices as of now. Twitter says that Apple account login functionality should
soon arrive for the Web version, but there is no mention if Android users will
be getting it.
The Google account login functionality will work on Android,
iOS, and desktop apps as well as Web browser. The sign up process has also
become easier as it bypasses the need to enter an email address, password,
name, and user handle. User handle options will automatically be suggested for
a new user by Twitter. The process now only requires new users to select their
languages and sync their smartphone contacts to find and connect with existing
users on the platform.
A Twitter support page mentions that users have the ability
to disconnect their Apple or Google accounts, but it is currently limited to
Web users only.
