Twitter recently rolled out a new timeline change for iOS users that pinned the Home timeline with top tweets the default and showed the latest tweets in a second tab. This change, however, ended up attracting some negative feedback from the users, and as a result, Twitter has dismissed the idea of the tabbed experience. Here are the details.
Twitter, via a recent tweet, suggested that it paid attention to the user feedback, and hence, has now removed the tabbed experience, which included the Home and Latest tabs. The Twitter timeline has been switched back to what it was earlier, allowing users to view the latest tweets first.
We heard you –– some of you always want to see latest Tweets first. We’ve switched the timeline back and removed the tabbed experience for now while we explore other options. https://t.co/euVcPr9ij6— Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) March 14, 2022
For those who don’t know, the Home tab became the default timeline option and was pinned to the top automatically. Users got the option to pin the Latest tab as well, but it wasn’t a default option. Instead, iOS users were required to swipe left every time to view the latest tweets. This functionality was supposed to reach Android and web users but turns out, it won’t be the case now.
