Tap the photo or silhouette in the top left corner for this
sidebar. To edit your profile, including your full name,
photo and bio, tap Profile, then Edit Profile. This screen also
shows your Twitter handle, which starts with a ‘@‘.4
If you see a hashtag, that is, blue text preceded by
‘#’, you can tap it and see other tweets that include
the same hashtag. Adding hashtags of your own makes
your tweet easier to find by others looking for that
particular subject.6
If you find the white background a little hard on the
eyes, tap your photo, or the silhouette if you
haven’t added one, in the top right corner to access your
sidebar. Then tap the moon in the bottom left to switch to
a darker view that’s easier on the eyes.● ● http://www.bdmpublications.com 35
