Twitter Will Allow Users to Switch Between Relevant and Most Recent Tweets on Android, iOS

Social media platform, Twitter today announced that it would be giving more control to its 336 million users by converting their timeline into a pure reverse chronological feed. In a series of Tweets, Twitter revealed its plans of testing a new feature which will allow its users to switch between relevant and most recent tweets. To recall, back in 2016, Twitter stated that it would only show ‘most important tweets’ on its platform, which disappointed several users, but the company has now revealed its plans for bringing back the old chronological feed. Notably, Instagram also has the same chronological feed algorithm which displays the most important posts first, rather than the newer ones.

Twitter Testing Two New Ways to Feed Viewing

Giving its over 336 million users more control, Twitter has announced that it will completely revert their timeline into a pure reverse chronological feed. In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Twitter announced that in the coming weeks, it will start testing a “way to switch between a timeline of tweets that are most relevant for you and a timeline of the latest tweets”.

“We’ve learned that when showing the best Tweets first, people find Twitter more relevant and useful. However, we’ve heard feedback from people who, at times, prefer to see the most recent tweets,” said Twitter.

“Our goal with the timeline is to balance showing you the most recent tweets with the best tweets you’re likely to care about, but we don’t always get this balance right,” it added.
