Twitter today said iPhone owners can now choose to view tweets in the order they were published.
This generally means in reverse chronological order, which is how Twitter originally operated until it later introduced the algorithmic feed. The company has been testing the tool since September and made it available through its mobile app for iPhones. It will reach the Android mobile app soon, says Twitter.
People will see a sparkle icon in the app. Tapping it re-orders the timeline. The default experience is still based on Twitter’s algorithmic feed, which showcases “top tweets” first.
Twitter made the change based on customer feedback.
