After you've connected your Twitter account to your iOS device, you can search Twitter for accounts that match your contacts' phone numbers and email addresses. To add Twitter, open the settings app and tap "Twitter." Then, tap "Update Contacts." The progress bar below will show when your contacts have been updated. Once updated, people in your contacts list that allow others to find them via their phone number or email address will now have their Twitter username and profile picture on their contact card. Now when you begin to type @ mentions, Twitter will auto-complete with names from your contacts as well as the people you follow on Twitter. Additionally, you can now use a contact's real name to mention them when speaking a Tweet, even if it's not associated with their Twitter account.
