How to Tweet on twitter : FAQs : Help centre
A Tweet may contain photos, GIFs, videos, links, and text.
How to Tweet

You can include up to 4 photos, a GIF, or a video in your Tweet.
Click the Tweet button to post the Tweet to your profile.
Tweet source labels
Tweet source labels help you better understand how a Tweet was posted. This additional information provides context about the Tweet and its author. If you don’t recognize the source, you may want to learn more to determine how much you trust the content.
Click on a Tweet to go to the Tweet details page.
At the bottom of the Tweet, you’ll see the label for the source of the account’s Tweet. For example, “Twitter for iPhone,” “Twitter for Android,” or “Twitter for Web.”
In some cases you may see a third-party client name, which indicates the Tweet came from a non-Twitter application. Authors sometimes use third-party client applications to manage their Tweets, manage marketing campaigns, measure advertising performance, provide customer support, and to target certain groups of people to advertise to. Third-party clients are software tools used by authors and therefore are not affiliated with, nor do they reflect the views of, the Tweet content. Tweets and campaigns can be directly created by humans or, in some circumstances, automated by an application.
How to post a Tweet via text message (SMS)
Connect your phone with your Twitter account, then simply send your Tweet as a text message to your appropriate Twitter short code the same way you’d send any other text message.
