iPhone Twitter tokens for third party apps working again, Tweetbot 7.2 and its new features now available.
- Thread starter Mac Fly (film)

Tweetbot 7.2.1 also has a formatting bug where text from a more lengthy tweet you are composing reaches the text lines down behind the keyboard toolbar making it difficult to compose a longer tweet—at least on my iPhone SE1—you cannot see the last line or two you are editing/typing.
And not a fan of the new floating compose tweet button tapbots added. Uncomfortable; preferred the prior design. Hope tapbots will fix.

If this is to be believed https://9to5google.com/2023/01/14/twitter-third-party-app-intentional-block/ this is a short-term bug, and all third-party apps are scuffed. Hoping that's not the case.
Seems like that post is light on details and heavy on opinion and speculation. Gonna hold out hope. Wouldn’t mind an ad here and there on third party apps like Tweetbot, if it means great apps like it can stay around. I have to assume the only reason third party apps got away with an ad-free Twitter experience this long is they are just a fraction of Twitter’s raw users number. Watch this space.
Indeed. Me too. Wasn’t really functioning anyway. Just got logged in but couldn’t do much. Let’s hoping we got booted because it’s been fixed 🤞
Tweetbot is working again because the developer decided to try using new API keys.
Tweetbot is down again
Tweetbot is back, but some users are still having issues with it.

I hate the official app. I really want to delete my twitter account and use something else but honestly i use it for sports tech and local and national news. From what i can tell Mastodon isn’t really for that. Why does Elon keep making things worse?? Right now using Fenix but im sure once people start switching they will pull them too
Create a list of people you follow on Twitter.
Swipe to that list to read their tweets in proper linear order with no ads and no inserted tweets from people you don't follow.
I'm keeping it on. Tapbots is working on Ivory, and I want to continue supporting them.
I have just downloaded and installed Fenix. Meh, not my cup of tea. Usernames in tweets are not tapable 🤦♂️

I think the free version is limited. I would pay for it but i feel it’s ultimately going to happen to all third party ones.
Twitterrific is working for me on macOS, but not iOS or iPadOS.
Fenix was working for me yesterday and then still works after the "Pro" purchase. Does not work on macOS.
Tweetbot has stopped for me on all platforms.
I don't mind paying a Dev $5 or $6 to try, and it DID work briefly. I'm sure at some point ALL 3rd party apps of all kinds will fail. I believe The Information's initial article about this indicated an issue with Retrieving Tokens, and how some apps that have fewer that 100,000 users AREN'T being blocked.. I'm sure with everyone trying all the different Twitter Apps, they're all going to push passed that 100,000 user threshold and then get triggered to block, too.

Mine is up 2/3 and I’m keeping it for now. But if it appears that third party apps are done for, I’ll cancel. Which is sad since I’ve used Tweetbot ever since the app was introduced.
Looking forward to Ivory though.
Are there any twitter apps that work on Catalina? I've been very happy with Tweetbot but now that it doesn't work I'm forced to use the browser which is brutal bad. The official twitter app on mac demands macOS 11. Are there any other options to use twitter on Catalina than the browser?
