In a blog post, Twitter stated: "Videos are a huge part of the public conversation... To help make it easier to find and watch what's happening, we are rolling out two new updates to how you experience videos on Twitter."
Twitter's updated immersive media viewers feature could expand videos to full screen with a single click. To activate it, you need to tap or click on a video in the Twitter app.
"Once the video has been launched in full-screen mode, we have made video discovery easier as well. Just scroll up to start browsing more engaging video content. If you want to exit the viewer and go back to the original Tweet, click the back arrow in the top left corner," the platform said.
The immersive media viewer will be available in the coming days to people using Twitter in English on iOS.
