Twitter for Mac is Being Replaced With X iPad App

X, the company formerly known as Twitter is discontinuing its Twitter for Mac and replacing it with the iPad version of the X app. While Twitter for Mac still works as of this writing, the app has been pulled from the Mac App Store, and it may eventually stop working.

When I opened Twitter for Mac this morning, I was greeted with a notification telling me that it was “time to update the app.” The notification redirected me to a new X app on the Mac App Store, and the store listing for this app indicates that it’s “designed for iPad.”
