TweetDeck, which was launched in 2008 and acquired by Twitter three years later, has been popular among hard-core users because of its dashboard-style approach to organizing a large number of feeds.

Twitter users should now be automatically logged into the TweetDeck Chrome and Mac apps as long as they’re logged in on twitter.com or the service’s analytics page, the company wrote alongside its Windows announcement. In other words, should users happen to have the Twitter website open and have logged in prior, they can give the Tweetdeck log-in process a miss. The company, which purchased TweetDeck back in 2011, didn’t give a strong reason for the move, with project manager Amy Zima saying in a blog post that Twitter wants “to better focus on enhancing your TweetDeck experience”.
On April 15 Twitter will end support for the app, which lets users create a dashboard for managing multiple accounts simultaneously. It’s possible that the Windows app team at Twitter could be shifting more focus to the Windows 10 Twitter application and will eventually bring several Tweetdeck features into that app interface. Well, users will no longer need to log in to TweetDeck in a separate manner. And it works both going to the website from TweetDeck and vice versa, Twitter notes.
The company is looking for ways to make TweetDeck more convenient, and as such you’ll find the login requirement lessened as of today.

Meanwhile, the Mac TweetDeck app has not been updated since July 2015. This is inaccurate, however.
