Twitter “testing new sticker feature for photos”March 23, 2016 - 17:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Twitter is testing a new sticker feature similar to Facebook, allowing users to spruce up their photos with colorful, customizable additions, Engadget reports citing media sources. The idea is, of course, that it could encourage people to tweet more photos and, in response, receive more likes, retweets and replies from other users. All of which would help Twitter to grow, Engadget says. A curious aspect, according to sources, is the option to "see how other users from around the world have edited the same photo." Furthermore, Twitter will supposedly "suggest photos that you can edit and post to participate in trending conversations and breaking news." That sort of description suggests the feature is built for doctoring other people's photos, rather than your own. Such an approach makes sense for so-called "viral" news -- those moments when Twitter explodes with reactionary comedy, according to Engadget. Stickers are still in a testing phase, so there's no guarantee that they'll ever roll-out to everyone.
