 Twitter has announced the closure of its experimental "twttr" app,which was unveiled in January 2019 in Las Vegas, USA, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world's leading consumer technology fair, and which began to be used in March of that year. Since then it has served to test new features and tools, some of which have ended up officially reaching the social network.

Among them, the nested conversations,which were launched but will now also cease to exist on Twitter because according to the company lead to confusion. Other functions that have been discarded and have not been definitively launched on the social network, such as responses identified with different colors, have also been tested.

The idea of the app was good: to allow users most identified with the social network to download this new app and to be able to check the new functions in the early stages of its development and thus provide feedback.

However, the reality is that, although at first a good number of testers did, the application fell into disuse after a few months and the company was not adding new functions that users could try. In fact, some of the latest developments, such as Fleets - Twitter Stories - or Topics, were not tested even before they were officially released in "twttr".

Now Twitter decides to close the app, as it makes no sense to maintain an app that no one isusing, neither the company nor the testers. In a tweet posted to the company's official support account, Twitter says it closes the app for other tests and experiments around the way the conversation unfolds on Twitter.
