The view includes a graph at the top, followed by statistics detailing your timeline activity for the last week, including Likes, Replies, Tweets, Retweets, Quotes, and Follows. Today, that view is back in Tweetbot 7 for the iPhone and iPad, thanks to the social media company’s increased willingness to open its platform to third-party developers like Tapbots. Over three years ago, Tweetbot removed the app’s stats view as a result of Twitter API changes. The latter can be enabled on a user’s profile page (pictured below) or by long-pressing someone’s profile picture in the timeline.

We’ve been keeping an eye on Tapbots’ rapid development pace for Tweetbot on iPhone and iPad over the past few months (we gave Tweetbot 6 a MacStories Selects award in December), and I continue to be impressed by how Tweetbot is growing and adding new features thanks to its new business model and Twitter’s new API. This one took about four minutes to arrive – not too bad considering they’re not based on push notifications.

I’m back this week with another set of 10 shortcuts that encompass a variety of platforms, app integrations, and functionalities. Last week, I shared an initial batch of 10 shortcuts I prepared for Automation April here on MacStories. If you haven’t yet, now would be a great time to start following on Twitter to keep up with everything we’re doing. And, of course, our panel of judges is now busy testing and evaluating shortcuts submitted by people for the Automation April Shortcuts Contest. We’ve published Shortcuts-focused articles on MacStories interviewed developers of Shortcuts-compatible apps on AppStories we’ve hosted a Town Hall Workshop on our Discord along with giveaways. Automation April is well underway: we’ve entered the second week of our month-long special event about automation on Apple platforms, and – in case you haven’t noticed – things are happening everywhere.
