Twitter comes with an update that lets the user add background images and videos to Fleet.
Twitter says that iOS will be the first to get this new update. There is no news on when Android users will be able to use it. This new feature will provide Twitter users with more options to customize their fleet, while their competitors currently don’t have many editing tools.
