Via a support document published today, Twitter announced that it has begun rolling out a new feature called "user galleries," which takes all of the images you've uploaded to Twitter, yFrog, TwitPic, Instagram, etc. and places them on a single page for viewing on the service. 

User galleries on Twitter aggregate the images you've uploaded in your Tweets into an organized page where you can view all of your most recent images.

There are some technical restrictions on the service, however:

  • Only the 100 most recent images will appear (pictures display in chronological order)
  • Videos are not included in this feature - only images
  • If the tweet with an image was sent before January 1, 2010, it will not appear on your gallery

Information on how to access user galleries:

  • User galleries can be found on an individual users' Profile page.
  • Clicking on View All will open the user gallery in your current window.
  • There are two different options for viewing the galleries that can be changed in the upper right-hand corner of the gallery once it's opened:
    • The grid view will show you thumbnails of all images we're able to display.
    • The detail view will show you the most recent image, complete with the body of the Tweet displayed below it and thumbnails for other images above it.

Users also have the ability to remove an image from their gallery by deleting the tweet that contains the photo.
