Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Twitter has added analytics to its mobile app, allowing every user to see how many people are reading and responding to their tweets.

Ian Chan, an engineer at Twitter, announced the change in a tweet.

Those are presented per tweet but also in graphs allowing you to track how popular your tweets have been over the last month.

The page also gives details of your followers over time, showing you in a chart how quickly (or slowly) you’ve been gaining followers.

It starts tracking the data from the first time you sign into the analytics platform — meaning that old tweets won’t be shown in the system.

The analytics can also be accessed on the desktop version of twitter, at analytics.twitter.com. Twitter seems to be pushing out adverts for that site to users, placing a big bar at the top of feeds telling you how many times your tweets were seen over the last month.
