We’re all just one compelling feature away from leaving our third-party apps on our own. For some of us, this full-archive search will be that feature.

are effectively killing — in a not so subtle way — the market for 3rd party apps.

In the sad realization that this process is a one way street, I’ve already deleted [Tweetbot](Tweetbot 3 for Twitter. An elegant client for iPhone and iPod touch by Tapbots
https://appsto.re/ie/TEvdR.i) and started using the official Twitter app instead.
