The positioning will now keep in mind which tab you chose final

Twitter appears to have a contact of identification dysphoria that even predates its buy by non-reclusive billionaire Elon Musk. Regardless of its preliminary success being rooted in well timed, consumable blurbs, the corporate always tries to push the kind of algorithmic house feed made standard by slower-paced, longer-form social media websites. Fortunately, customers of the platform by no means appear to let Twitter stray too removed from its origins.

Earlier this week, Twitter cut up its house feed into two tabs: for you and following. The primary tab used an algorithm to suggest content material you could be excited about, with out a lot deal with when the tweets have been posted. the second tab, following, was Twitter’s traditional reverse-chronological timeline, containing solely posts from accounts you observe, and all the time exhibiting you the most recent information first. The tabs might be swiped between for straightforward entry, however tapping the Sparkle icon on the prime of the feed now not gave you the choice to set for you as the first view — in impact, the algorithm was now the default, and there was no escaping it.

After predictable backlash, CEO Elon Musk introduced that the corporate would work on a characteristic that will remember which of the tabs you last visited. That characteristic was formally unveiled by the Twitter staff as we speak — now, the net model of Twitter remembers which tab you final chosen and routinely defaults to that choice whenever you subsequent load your own home feed.

Twitter says this characteristic will make its solution to the Android and iOS apps within the coming days, however Android Police tipster Moshe experiences that the most recent alpha construct of the app was already exhibiting this conduct for them. Sadly, this wasn’t the case once we did our personal testing, which may level to an account-based or server-side rollout for the characteristic on cell.

If you wish to strive your luck and see if you will get the Android app to recollect your choice for the following tab, you possibly can sideload a more moderen model. For finest outcomes, strive the most recent alpha launch of Twitter from APKMirror.
