Photo tagging and adding multiple pictures to a Tweet are coming soon

Twitter is pushing out a new update to their mobile apps for iOS and Android, and this time it’s all about sharing pictures. With today’s update you can tag up to 10 people in your images without wasting any of your 140 characters. Coming soon on Android, you’ll also be able to attach up to four images to a single post.

On the tagging side, you will get notified when someone tags you in a photo, which you can enable or disable in your app settings. If you’d rather, you can also set things up so that nobody can tag you, and you can keep your secret identity hidden from Mr. J. Jonah Jameson, or anyone else for that matter.

The photo sharing will take up to four pictures and create a collage that is shown in the timeline. This is live on iOS with today’s update, and coming soon to the Android app as well as on Twitter.com.

Both tags and collages will also be embeddable, to make for easy sharing through email or on a blog, like this one.
