Noting TweetDeck users are increasingly computer-based, the company announced it will focus on improving the web-based versions of TweetDeck.
Support for Facebook integration is also to be discontinued.
The apps will be removed from their app stores as of May, after which they will cease to function, with TweetDeck warning that users may experience outages before then.
“In many ways, doubling down on the TweetDeck web experience and discontinuing our app support is a reflection of where our TweetDeck power-users are going. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a steady trend towards people using TweetDeck on their computers and Twitter on their mobile devices,” TweetDeck said in a blog post.
“This trend coincides with an increased investment in Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for Android –– adding photo filters and other editing capabilities, revamping user profiles and enhancing search. That said, we know this applies to most of our users –– not all of them. And for those of you who are inconvenienced by this shift, our sincere apologies,” it added.
