Conversations has changed. It is quite interesting. Not sure if I like this at all. Doesn't really appear to be clear in what are conversations and to the next? Plus, it has in the note that there are NEW Notifications Settings. These all appear to be dimmed for me. So I am unable to turn certain ones or off. So I am off to see why these are dimmed for me.
Would love to see what you have found and what you think of the NEW conversations view.

Random Behavior Since iOS 7.1 Update
Issue 1, Yes
Viewing bios
Anyone experiencing issues with the "3 finger swipe right to left" gesture on the Twitter app? When clicking the profile, this is the hint you get when focussed on the user name, to "view user information." This gesture, which I assume is the same as that used to flick pages on the home screen, does nothing. Or at least I still don't see a biography at all anywhere so assume it's doing nothing. Mine's an iPhone 5C.
Version 6.6
Twitter version 6.6 is now available. However, before updating, users should be aware that the tripple-tap gesture for tweet actions is broken. The Twitter Accessibility Team is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. On the plus side...tweet timestamps are finally spoken!!!
"What's New in Version 6.6
This update includes minor improvements."
Further fix on the way
I can also confirm that they are going to fix the broken 3-finger swipe gesture on a user's profile, which I reported upon detection as did some-one else shortly afterwards. They are very swift to respond to feedback and I really do applaud them.

Need help with lists please.
Hello,
please do you know how to access and manage lists using regular Twitter app for IOS?
Thank you for help.
3-Finger Swipe for Profile Info
Hmm, it appears they still haven't fixed the 3-finger swipe for profile info problem... Perhaps we should try contacting them again about that...
I can confirm that issue
Hello,
I can confirm that issue. Three finger swipe left does not work when viewing profiles. I think they're aware of it though, but it doesn't hurt contacting them again.
Contacting Twitter Support
Could someone please post a direct link to contact Twitter support concerning accessibility issues? Oftentimes, these links are extremely difficult to locate.
I have previously suggested to the devs on the AppleVis site to maybe create a listing of direct support links to apps that are listed here for this very reason, but they seemed to think it too difficult to do. Does anyone else think this would be a good idea? Perhaps they should also suggest it to site developers here...
