Twitter It was previously criticized by many users when it switched from its chronological timeline to a new system that showed suggested tweets instead. Later, however, the social media platform added an option which, when activated, allows users to view recent tweets by default.
However, now, this is not the case. According to a report by 9to5Google, a recent update to Twitter no longer allows users to access the chronological timeline by default.
The report mentions that Twitter is currently rolling out this update for iOS users and will eventually push them to Android and the web. As the company mentioned on its Twitter profile, users will have two tabs at the top of the app to interchange between Home (with suggested tweets and latest tweets).
This means you can still view tweets in chronological order but you can’t access them by default because the Home tab will always appear first. According to a report from 9to5Mac, a Twitter spokesperson also confirmed that the change has been added, but mentioned that the company may change it again in the future.
Twitter users, however, reacted quickly. He reacted negatively to the changes. Many of them mentioned that they want the option to see the latest tweets by default and the new change has made the feed more confusing.
Meanwhile, Instagram is testing new feed options that bring back the chronological order without showing post suggestions.
