Twitter is now available for Windows 10 mobile devices.
The social networking service this month released Twitter for Windows 10 Mobile, an app that delivers "a Twitter experience designed especially for Windows 10 for PCs and tablets."

Twitter said its new Windows 10 app includes a "dark theme" along with several other distinct features.
"In Twitter for Windows 10 Mobile, we've added features that make content discovery, as well as both public and private sharing, more seamless than ever. [Twitter users can] explore Moments; send group Direct Messages; shoot, edit and Tweet video; share a Tweet and easily add your own commentary with quote Tweet; and check out top Tweets without logging in," Jeremy Forrester, Twitter's Technical Program Manager, wrote in a blog post.
Some Windows 10 device users quickly provided feedback about the app's performance.
@twitter @WinObs thx. Any way to give official feedback? Found few bugs and UI is imho worse than before. (too small icons/texts / no swipe)

Twitter for Windows 10 Mobile allegedly shut down other apps running on various Windows 10 mobile devices as well.
@twitter this is a nightmare upgrade guys, knocks out other apps running including @SpotifyUK Please sort out asap

It also failed to deliver the same functionality available on Android and iOS devices, according to some Twitter users.
@twitter it's still missing BASIC and CORE functionality from Android and iOS. Stop releasing half baked stuff for Windows Phone.

The push for SnapChat for Windows 10 Mobile remains in full effect, too.
@twitter Bravo ! For launching today on Windows 10 it's possible to motivate Snapchat to do the same thing ? #Snapchat
