Twitter has officially shut down third-party clients and apps.

California: Twitter hinted at it a week ago and has now officially announced the shutdown of ‘third-party apps’ and software connected to the app. This includes all apps and software that connect to Twitter.

These include tweet bots that connect to Twitter and do their work. Similarly, Twitter API-type programs will also become inactive under the new decree. This was reported by popular technology websites including The Verge and Endgadget.

In its official statement on Thursday, Twitter defined ‘Twitter applications’ as including consumer products, services, applications, websites, and other alternative services.

Earlier on January 12, Twitter has already disabled Tweet Bot and Twitterific and they continue to affect Twitter. Then in another announcement on January 17, the API rules have also been indicated to change.

However, third-party software and app makers have responded by saying that Twitter’s announcement is unfounded and that their apps have been in the works for years. He said that for the last 16 years, we have been following API amendments and laws and will continue to do so.
