Your third-party Twitter apps are safe for now.
In a reversal from a statement made in December 2017, Twitter said it will delay its plan to pull support for Twitter apps like Talon, Tweetbot, Tweetings and Twitterrific. The microblogging service would stop these apps' ability to push notifications and update post timelines starting on June 19, effectively crippling these non-Twitter apps.
Last year we announced our plan to retire Site Streams & User Streams, and replace them with the Account Activity API (currently in beta). We are delaying the scheduled June 19th deprecation date.

"Today's update to last year's announcement is focused on making sure developers have ample time to migrate to the new API," a Twitter spokesperson said.
Twitter didn't mention how long its stay of execution will last, but fans will now have more than two months to get their Twitter affairs in order.
