You can choose to see all the tweets on your search topic or those tweets only from people you follow. You can also use media as a search criteria, allowing you to find tweets that contain photos and videos.

Another new feature allows you to find trending TV topics and local events via a new trending timeline in the Discover section of the app. It’s an interesting addition that’ll bring the latest local and relevant conversations to the forefront of the app. Unfortunately, you can’t play with these features just yet. No date was given, but Twitter did say the update is expected to land in the iOS App Store soon.

Update: The updated version of the app (5.1.3)  is available now for you to download.
