"Today, we released a few changes to the way Twitter looks on the web and on your phone. While it might feel weird at first, these updates make us more accessible, unique and focused on you and what you are talking about," the company wrote on the platform on Wednesday.
"In January, we revealed our new font, Chirp -- and it`s ready for you to use today," it added. Moreover, Twitter has now made a new change to its website in which all the Western-language text is now aligning to the left side.
