According to the American social media platform, the company is changing its video player so that users will now be able to expand the video to the entire screen by tapping with their fingers.

Currently, video on Twitter takes up a portion of the screen, but the feature of expanding the video to the entire screen is actually a copy of the trend that TikTok pioneered and its competitors have seen and adopted this feature.

This change will be rolled out to English-speaking Twitter users in the coming days and only to users using the Twitter app on iOS. Once the video enters full-screen mode, users will also be able to scroll to view more video content.
