Twitter has updated their Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app, bringing an all-new design. Previously, the UWP app was only available for Windows 10 for PCs.
As you"ll notice from the photo above, the new app includes Moments. The app also supports light and dark themes, depending on the user"s settings. Here"s what the app description notes as new.
Find the best of Twitter in an instant with Moments. Follow top stories through immersive pics, clips, and conversations. Get insights and perspectives you won"t find anywhere else.

Ultimately, it would appear that the UWP app will finally bring Twitter for Windows phones to maturity, as it has never been a particularly well-featured app. Here"s a couple screenshots of both:

It"s exciting to see developers taking the Windows platform seriously. While apps like HERE are pulling out, firms such as Spotify, Facebook, LINE, Dropbox, and more are building for the platform.
