Twitter’s next update should make it less insistent that you use the “For You” algorithmic timeline, according to a Elon Musk tweet. He says the app will “stop changing it back to recommended tweets” and will remember whether he left it on the reverse chronological “Next” timeline or a pinned list.
Musk’s promises should be taken with a grain of salt, but I expect the company to deliver on this. Until last month, Twitter had a button that let you set a preference for which version of the timeline you wanted to use. That option disappeared when the company implemented a user interface that allowed you to swipe between the two timelines, with the app opening by default in the algorithmic one.
Musk it also says users will be able to arrange the top bar at some point, creating a custom order for the “For You” and “Following” tabs, as well as any pinned lists you have.
