Earlier this fall, Twitter opened up access<\/a> to its storytelling feature \u201cMoments\u201d to all Twitter users, allowing anyone to create their own stories using tweets and photos uploaded to the service. At the time, Moments creation was only available on the web, but the company promised that mobile support would arrive soon. Today, it has \u2014 Twitter\u00a0has announced that the ability to create\u00a0Moments is now rolling out to mobile, too.<\/p>\n

Moments, by way of background, was first launched more than a year ago<\/a>\u00a0as an effort to give people another reason to use Twitter. Struggling to grow its user base, Moments represents Twitter\u2019s own take on how to do\u00a0short-form content \u2014 like that found in other apps such as Snapchat Stories, for example.<\/p>\n

Initially, Moments\u00a0were created in-house. Twitter later rolled out Moments creation to other influencers and brands before making them available to everyone. This delay to make the feature broadly accessible could have impacted Moments\u2019 momentum.<\/p>\n

As it turned out,\u00a0the feature did\u00a0not perform as well as Twitter desired. It\u2019s clear that it hasn\u2019t\u00a0influenced more people to sign up for\u00a0Twitter, and people are still using tweetstorms (multiple linked tweets, often numbered) to express their longer thoughts, rather than organizing those tweets into Moments.<\/p>\n

With the added support for Moments creation on mobile, Twitter\u2019s hope is that more people will adopt the feature despite its belated arrival.<\/p>\n

To create Moments via the web, you pull in tweets from your favorites, by account, or via a Twitter search, or you can add them directly via their link. On mobile, however, you\u2019ll be able to choose a tweet you want to add by selecting the \u201cAdd to Moment\u201d option from the menu you access by tapping the down arrow at\u00a0the top-right corner of a tweet.<\/p>\n

You can search for tweets, add your own or pull in favorites via mobile, too.<\/p>\n

On another screen you can reorder the tweets, change their background colors and remove tweets, before clicking \u201cDone\u201d to finish the process. The final step involves adding a cover image and title, then tapping \u201cPublish.\u201d<\/p>\n
