Last week we learnt that Donald Trump informed his friend that he is no longer using the Android phone as guided by the security agencies. We also got to know a day before that he was now using a secure, encrypted device approved by the Secret Service with a new number that few have. However, it does not appear to be the complete story.

Mr. Trump’s wife, Melania, went back to New York on Sunday night with their 10-year-old son, Barron, and so Mr. Trump has the television — and his old, unsecured Android phone, to the protests of some of his aides — to keep him company. That was the case after 9 p.m. on Tuesday, when Mr. Trump appeared to be reacting to Bill O’Reilly’s show on Fox News, which was airing a feature on crime in Chicago. (NYT)
If we see Donald Trump’s personal Twitter account, we will know that it’s still evident that his tweets are from “Twitter for Android,” while that’s not really decisive evidence that the android phone he’s holding on to to send them is the same one he possessed earlier on. However, Tweets from his new, official @POTUS account are from Twitter for iPhone.
