Twitter Inc. is testing redesigns of members’ profiles, one of several product updates aimed at keeping users engaged with the microblogging service, a person with knowledge of the matter said.

The profile pages, which include postings, pictures and followers, may be redesigned to highlight more useful content, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the update hasn’t been released yet. That would make a user’s most-popular post more prominent, for example, the person added.
