On Friday, Twitter removed the default chronological sorting option on the homepage with an update it released for its mobile apps. Users started seeing popular tweets first, whether they wanted to or not, and the company also divided tweets into two different tabs, “recent” and “popular.”
As soon as you open Twitter, people who want to see the latest tweets by default on the main page, reacted to this situation. “Are we going to swipe right every time to see posts in chronological order?” Users who criticize the company said that the experience was frustrating. Twitter, on the other hand, took a step back.
Twitter restores chronological order
The social media company has brought back the chronological sorting feature to the Twitter app by default, based on reactions from users. After installing the new update, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store, you can set the latest tweets to appear first on the homepage, just like before.
Twitter chronological sorting is now possible by default.
Twitter said in its statement on the subject:
We heard you. Some of you always want to see the latest tweets first. As we continue to explore other options, we have reverted the timeline and removed the tabbed experience for now.
Of course, while Twitter brings back the chronological sorting feature by default, first on the homepage He also did not forget those who want to see popular tweets. After pressing the star icon in the upper right corner and choosing “Switch to homepage”, you will see popular tweets customized to your interests every time you open the application.
When you want to switch to chronological order again, just touch the star icon and press “Switch to the latest tweets”. When you do this, you will see the tweets shared by the people you follow on the main page in chronological order. The two separate tab experiences that came with the update released on Friday were also removed.
