Back at the beginning of the year, Twitter announced new features coming to the platform as well as a redesign users could anticipate in the coming months.

Well, it appears that time is now as NewTwitter has started rolling out for some users, prompting people to wonder why Twitter looks different.

I will wait. Like most platform updates, the rollout includes some features people have been asking for and some people are not so much a fan of. One of the more anticipated features is an updated Dark Mode. In addition to switching the icon from a moon to a lightbulb, Dark Mode now has a pure black background, as some users said they wanted Dark Mode to be even darker. On Thursday, Twitter started rolling out its new look on its desktop site, which features tweaks to functionality and updates to the app's look and feel.

Twitter says the redesign — their biggest in years — is part of an attempt to streamline usability , according to Wired.

The company's heard through user surveys how the clunky interface can be confusing to some users, and the fresh look is as much an aesthetic refresh as it is an attempt to improve user experience. And while feedback has been mostly positive, the new Twitter looks a bit different than what die-hard users are used to. For starters, users can expect a handful of subtle, organizational changes.

Users will notice a new side navigation menu, designed to make managing multiple accounts and keeping a pulse on what's happening in the thread even easier.
