Twitter rolls out a brand new feature of Tip Jar for iOS and Android app. This feature will let you send money to your favorite account for his amazing tweets or a charitable purpose.
To use the Tip Jar method, simply click the user’s profile. We go to his profile and we will see a small pile of ticket-shaped (dollar-bill) icons next to the button to follow or unfollow him (on the right side of the avatar, above his name). After pressing the button, Twitter will give us the option to pay you through its established payment method.

The payment methods that Tip Jar supports include Bandcamp, Cash App, Patreon, Paypal, and Venmo. Twitter is using external payment processors for these services for transactions. The company will not take a cut of any transaction. All English Twitter users can start sending tips from today. But for now, only a selected group of users that include “content creators, journalists and some experts”) can activate the feature to get paid immediately.

Users have been using Twitter request techniques for years, or Patreon follows; At this point, ending the viral thread by screaming on the SoundCloud account is actually a meme. So it makes sense that Twitter wants to simplify functions as part of its own application.

It’s worth noting that currently the only way to access Tip Jar is to navigate to the user’s profile. This means that giving someone some money for his really amazing tweet takes more effort than simply liking or retweeting it.
Twitter already has some issues that need to be fixed. As Rachel Tobac discovered, using Tip Jar to send reminders via Paypal currently allows anyone to verify the recipient’s address via remittance. This is a worrisome security issue and Twitter and Paypal are expected to be resolved soon.
Huge heads up on PayPal Twitter Tip Jar. If you send a person a tip using PayPal, when the receiver opens up the receipt from the tip you sent, they get your *address*. Just tested to confirm by tipping @yashar on Twitter w/ PayPal and he did in fact get my address I tipped him. https://t.co/R4NvaXRdlZ pic.twitter.com/r8UyJpNCxu
