You can upload high-quality 4K images to Twitter for Android. Here's how!

We all love to share photos and videos on social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, and for the most part, everything generally works out as planned. However, frequently the images we share on Twitter are overly compressed, squished, or cropped in ways that aren't flattering. Thankfully, Twitter is now rolling out some new methods to allow users to upload high-quality — even 4K — images and videos to Twitter, both on Android and iOS. We'll show you where these settings are located in the Twitter app so you can start sharing the shots you intended, once and for all!

How to upload high-quality 4K images to Twitter for Android

The first improvement that you'll notice immediately is when you tweet an image, the result — or what gets posted in the timeline — will match what you see in the tweet composer. No more cropped photo surprises!

Secondly, you will now be able to upload and view 4K images from your Android (or iOS) device. Here's how!

  1. Open your Twitter app.
  2. Tap on the settings menu icon (three lines) at the screen's top-left corner.
  3. Tap on Settings and privacy.
  4. Tap on Data usage.

  5. Under Images, tap on High-quality images to select whether you want to load images up to 4K quality on mobile data and Wi-FI, Wi-Fi only, or neither.
  6. Repeat for Video.

Now you can be assured that the images and videos that you upload and view in the Twitter app are the best possible, no matter where you are.

It's important to note that these features are still rolling out and may not yet be available for all users. If you don't see them in your app's settings, please be patient and remember to check the Google Play store frequently for updates.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
