After updating its iOS app to display both algorithmic and chronological timelines side by side, Twitter is rolling out this update to the web interface.
Earlier this week, the company renamed “Home” (algorithmic timeline) and “Last” (chronological timeline) to “For You” and “Next.” The “For You” timeline now appears first in both the iOS app and on the web.
While you have to swipe between these timelines on the phone, you have to click the timeline tabs to switch between them on the web. The good thing is that at least in the web version, Twitter seems to remember the user’s choices. So even if a user closes the tab or window and reopens Twitter, they’ll see the timeline they previously selected.
Twitter said in its announcement that this view will also be coming to the Android app soon. Algorithmic timeline for everyone!
One benefit of the new web view is that if you’re using Twitter lists, the revamped interface makes it easy to jump from one pinned list to another. Previously, the only way to access lists on the web was through More > Lists. Pretty tedious.
