Today Twitter introduced Tip Jar, a new feature that allows users to send money to other users and content creators on Twitter. “This is a first step in our work to create new ways for people to receive and show support on Twitter - with money,” the company shared in a blog post.
Users will be able to link their Twitter accounts with Tip Jar to Bandcamp, Cash App, Patreon, PayPal or Venmo and Twitter will take no cut of money sent through this new feature.
Those who are using Twitter in English on iOS and Android will be able to start sending money through Tip Jar starting today. Certain users will be able to add Tip Jar to their profiles to begin collecting tips. This includes creators, journalists, experts and nonprofits, Twitter said.
Twitter also recently announced that it would stop cropping full size images.
