Iridium Mail & Web No Longer Supports Twitter - Iridium Go App Does!

Twitter has deprecated support for TLS 1.0 (its transport layer security protocols) and updated its Application Program Interface (API) documentation to support only TLS 1.2 or higher. As a consequence of this change, Iridium Mail and Web no longer supports Twitter posting, as the IMW server does not support the newer TLS protocols and only supports 1.0. The Tweet option will be removed from the Iridium Mail and Web App in an upcoming app update release.

Twitter is still supported on the Iridium GO! App with our SMS interconnection via short code (40404) and should be used instead of the iridium Mail and Web app method, which no longer works
