Also, the app has since been updated so that it won’t run on an emulator at all, so computer-based Snapchat went back to being a pipe dream. Except it’s a reality again because now there’s an official web option that only requires logging in to get it to work....

According to a tweet from Twitter’s official support page on Wednesday, updates will roll out over the next two months to ensure tweets don’t disappear. Twitter said the issue seems to happen most often when the timeline auto-refreshes. “The background: a tweet would move up the timeline as replies were added to the ongoing convo.
