Using thirdparty apps, we used to be able to follow/unfollow users by typing the SMS commands "FOLLOW username", "UNFOLLOW username " as tweet messages.
Looks like those commands do not work anymore. I tried a few third-party apps, including Twitter's iphone app itself. When I type the SMS command "FOLLOW username", it shows up as a tweet, as opposed to following that user. As of now, SMS style commands only work on Twitter's website.
Is this a known issue? Have there been any changes that developers should be aware of?
Updates
- We've been cleaning up undocumented so-called "tweet commands" that statuses/update interprets. Please use the dedicated functions to perform these operations instead.
