According to Jane Manchun Wong, a Hong Kong-based technology researcher famous for discovering hidden features in popular apps, social media giant Twitter appears to be testing Bitcoin tipping on Android devices.

Wong shared a screenshot that supposedly shows the beta version of the feature.

Twitter allowed users to tip creators after launching its “tip jar” service in May. Initially, it was only possible to send money with the help of centralized payment providers, such as Venmo, PayPal and, of course, Square’s Cash App.

Lightning Network-powered Bitcoin payments were then added to the Twitter beta in late August.

As reported by U.Today, Twitter officially announced Bitcoin support for iOS devices on Sept. 23, gradually rolling out the new service for all devices.source

I have heard about this, and if this really happens, that will be really good news for Bitcoin. I'm excited to see how it pans out.
