Twitter deliberately suspended Tweetbot and other third-party apps, forcing people to use the platform's official app, report says
As a result, people were unable to use Twitter on external apps, meaning they would have to log in to Twitter's app, per the report.
The Information reported there was speculation that Twitter could have suspended the apps because they failed to bump up ad revenue. Musk predicted that by 2028, advertising would generate $12 billion in revenue,"Third-party app suspensions are intentional," a senior software engineer wrote on Thursday in an internal Twitter Slack channel, The Information reported.
Twitter had started to work on communications but didn't know when it would release the information, a product marketing manager said in reply to the Slack message, cited in the report. "We've reached out to Twitter for more details, but as of yet have not heard anything back," Tweetbot said in the message seen by Insider, adding that it hoped the suspension was temporary.
