This is still interesting, because its way around new X anti-features.
You can't really bypass them on web or in the new app. But Twitter has no choice but to support old iOS/Android apps, where, for whatever reason, auto update is not working, lest they lose thousands of users.
My mother broke auto update on her old Galaxy. I dont even know how she did it, as it should be working, but it is not, and she won't let anyone mess with it too much...
