Twitter’s new feature onboarding is perfect for mobile users

Twitter uses sildeout modals and popup windows to introduce its new feature.

Twitter onboards users to its new Twitter Circle feature by prompting users with a modal that has a skip option. When users choose to try out the feature, the app takes the users to a new page to edit their Twitter circle. Then, users are prompted with a slideout modal to further learn about the feature.

Why it’s great:

Skip option - The skip option is always a good call, but in Twitter’s case, it also reads “maybe later” which gives it a friendly tone.

Well-formatted copy - The copy on the second page uses bold subheadings to get users to read at least that much about the feature while the copy is generally kept short.

Visuals - visuals and small icons not only help draw attention but also help visualize the new features of apps, Twitter uses this function wisely.
