The new patent filed by Twitter describes unmanned aerial vehicle that could take photos and post them to the social media website. When asked about the patented device, a TWTR spokesperson responded by saying “drone selfies,” reports NBC News.
The patent for the Twitter drone also describe how it could be controlled in different ways. It talks about the drone being moved in different directions depending on how many Likes, Retweets and Replies the post got. However, the drone has to exist before anyone can be sure that it will work this way, The Verge notes.
