In the latest update to Twitter app, users (only ios for now) can swipe between tabs to see recommended tweets, as well as posts from the handles they follow, the Elon Musk-owned service has announced.
To switch easily, the ‘For You’ and ‘Following’ tabs will be pinned to the top of a person’s Twitter timeline, it added.
“See the tweets you want to see. Starting today on ios, swipe between tabs to be see recommended ‘for you’ or tweets from the accounts you’re ‘following.’ the ‘for you’ and ‘following’ tabs replace ‘home’ and ‘latest’ and will be pinned to the top of your timeline so you can easily switch between them. Swipe to switch timelines instead of tapping the ✨icon,” said twitter on wednesday.
