Twitter announced a slew of features during its product event held on Thursday. The micro-blogging site revealed that it is rolling out Tips, which is a tipping feature, to everyone with more payment options to choose from including cryptocurrency. Using Tips, Twitter users can tip their favourite account on the micro-blogging platform, help a small business owner through a difficult time, give to an important cause. Tipping on Twitter got simpler and now comes with more payment options.
Announcing the feature, Esther Crawford, Product Manager at Twitter said, “Our tipping feature now called Tips is rolling out to everyone with more payment options to choose from even crypto. Whether you want to tip your favorite account because you adore their commentary, send some love to an emerging comedy creator for their hilarious Tweets, help a small business owner through a difficult time, give to an important cause — whatever you want to support (and we know you already have some ideas), Tips is here to help you do it. She revealed that Tips will be first rolled out to iOS users and then the Android users will get in a couple of weeks.
Twitter will let influencers or people with a large follower base add a Tips icon next to the Follow button on the profile page. If you want to tip somebody, you will simply have to tap on the tip icon and the list of payment services or platforms that the account has enabled will be visible to you, and you can select whichever you prefer. The feature is currently rolling out to users in the US.
