The circle of decisions for Twitter is complete. Social networks will eventually stop forcing algorithmic “For You” timelines on iOS and Android users. According to Twitter, the app will remember your selected timeline once you close it.
Basically, if you’re looking at your chronological “following” timeline when you leave the app, it won’t force you back to the algorithmic timeline when you reopen Twitter. The company rolled out this update to his web last month and is now pushing the latest version to his app on Twitter mobile.
The Elon Musk-led company started pushing the algorithm’s “For You” timeline last month by making it the default feed on iOS. Later, dual timeline view was introduced to Android and web as well.
Many users were not happy with the fact that there was no way to default to chronological timelines. This is due to her Twitter pushing users back to the “For You” timeline when updating or relaunching the app. The latest update fixes that issue, but the dual timeline view remains.
Before this, Twitter had star buttons that let you easily switch between chronological or algorithmic timelines.
And for now, you have to use the official Twitter app to access the social network. This is because the company changed their API terms of use to remove third-party apps.
