Twitter says goodbye to the 'Most Recent Tweets' tab

Again, you can choose the timeline in chronological order on Twitter. The company decided to reverse the changes they released just a few days ago, with plans to give a twist to what publications that ended up not being so pleasant look like among the general public.

The previous update divided the Home into two parts. With the first one, you could view the tweets in an order determined by the application's algorithm; while in the second tab you could access the most recent Tweets, allowing you to view the content in chronological order.

However, contrary to such a pre-update suggestion, the selected tab always restarts when you exit the application and re-enter. In this way, each time you had to go through the Twitter homepage because the platform's algorithm is executed first, even if you only want to see the most recent posts.

For now, however, the application has decided to revert to its previous version. This way you can choose the Timeline that the user likes best, either in algorithmic or chronological mode. The advantage of this option is that it saves the user's preferred settings until they decide to change them, so you don't have to go through the process of selecting 'Last Tweet' each time you enter the app for when you want to see the beginning in chronological order; option that many people like.

First updated on iOS, and soon on Android

The update is now available for iOS devices. That way, if you have an iPhone, you can already experience the changes. If it's not yet available, it's only a matter of time before you can download it.

Android users will have to wait a little longer, as will those who use social media in mode web site. However, the company has already confirmed that it will finally arrive, so they will only have to wait a little.

It didn't take long to hear users' voices when the platform decided to change the 'classic' experience to a segmented tabbed experience. On the same social network created by Jack Dorsey, it was possible to see that there are many people who want the option to see the most recent Tweets by default, and that Twitter has made it more difficult for users.

In addition, the tab bar to choose between one option or another takes up unnecessary space on the screen. Although Twitter allowed users to choose one of the two default tabs; this would be an unnecessary and counterproductive choice when compared to the old (current) way of doing things.

Social networks always take risks by making changes to their Feed

But Twitter isn't the only one that wants to change things. Recently, Instagram officials announced their intention to change the home page of their app. In this way they intend to suggest returning the chronological order of output without showing suggestions for publication.

Fortunately, it seems that Twitter officials are listening a little more to their users. In fact, even before reversing the change, the company's spokesman, Shaokyi Amdo, confirmed that the measure would be implemented “for now.”

Therefore, they offer the possibility of future changes in the event that the user is not so convinced by the unnecessary re-integration.
