With the current (8.55.1) version of the Twitter app for iOS, there is an easy way to freeze the app. This happens if the user selects the three ellipses and a profile banner at the same time.

Here's a video of the problem:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Inside the Twitter iOS app select any user

2. From any user's profile page, select the "..." and tap on the profile banner at roughly the same time

Result: Selecting the ellipses and the profile banner photo of any user freezes the app

Expected: Select the ellipses "..." and the profile banner photo from any user should not freeze the Twitter iOS app

 

Twitter app for iOS (version 7.48.5) has a "Create a List" button that does nothing

Twitter app for iOS (version 7.48.5)
Date: 04/27/2019

Description:

There is a "Create a List" button inside of the iOS app with the current Twitter app. This button does not seem to do anything - nothing happens when you press the button.

This behavior is different from the Twitter website, where, after the user presses the "Create a List" button, the user is able to create a list.

This is easier to show than to describe, so please see the attached screenshots.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Twitter app for iOS (version 7.48.5)
2. Either sign into an account
3. Go to any profile on Twitter
4. Select the three dot menu option in the upper right hand corner of the screen
5. Select the "Add/remove from Lists"
6. From the "You haven't created or subscribed to any Lists" page - click the "Create a List" button

Result: The "Create a List" button that is visible on pop up screen that says "You haven't created or subscribed to any Lists" does not seem to work - nothing happens when you press this button

Expected: The "Create a List" button on the "You haven't created or subscribed to any Lists" should work when pressed - it should create a prompt to create a list

Select the three circle option in the upper right...

Select the "Add/remove from Lists" option...

This "Create a List" button does nothing.
