Each tweet is headed by
the name of the person
who sent the tweet, their twitter
handle (which starts with an ‘@’
symbol) and their profile
picture. A blue tick after their
name means the identity of that

definitely not a fake.

types your Twitter name in a
tweet), you’re notified here.

You can send messages
directly to someone who
follows you. Tap here to read
and send them.

A tweet can contain
pictures and videos as well
as text. You can also add links to
web pages, hashtags and
another person’s user handle, to

them here.
