The social network Twitter is still making changes to the way it presents its news feed. On iOS, the application offers 2 news feeds, including one containing people you do not follow.
Have you figured out how Twitter’s News Feed works? Tremendous ! You will be able to start a new learning sequence: the American social network indicates in a published message January 11, 2023 a new change in the layout of the tweets you see. The iOS experience is concerned first.
Now, two tabs are available within the official application. One of them groups the accounts you follow. So far, nothing but very classic, with content always sorted in chronological order. But, the other is a new section, which will show you profiles that you may not know, but supposed to please you according to your centers of interest, which the Twitter algorithms have taken care to analyze.
” The ‘For You’ and ‘Followers’ tabs replace ‘Home’ and ‘Latest Tweets’ and will be pinned to the top of your News Feed so you can easily switch between them. Swipe to change yarn instead of tapping the icon », indicates the announcement messagewho believes that this development will allow you to “ see the tweets you want to see “.
A redesign of Twitter reminiscent of posting à la TikTok
It is paradoxical to hear Twitter say that this update will allow you to see the messages you want to display. With this novelty, Twitter will display an entire tab made up of tweets from unknown accounts or, in any case, that we do not follow. The community site does not specify when this redesign will affect the mobile application for Android as well as the web version of the service.
If you’re using the Twitter app on iOS, we may not have the change on your account yet. These deployments are usually incremental and may also require updating the software from the App Store. If you go through a third-party application, this reorganization will not affect you, whether you are on iPhone or iPad.
This distinction between a page grouping your subscriptions and another in which suggestions are made to you is reminiscent of a scheduling found on TikTok: the application’s home page also has two display modes: a “Followings” to discover new videos and new accounts and a “For you” to see the content of your contacts.
Twitter often changes the organization of its news feed, without having found a formula that suits it once and for all. For example, the social network has embarked on a display of tweets not following a chronological order – this being relegated to an option to be activated. It was the algorithmic display vs the one by message arrival date.
