Last week, Twitter introduced one of its worst product decisions<\/a> in a while: the service would default to showing the algorithmically served Home feed while the reverse-chronological Latest feed was accessible in a separate tab. The change, which was available first on iOS and was set to arrive \u201csoon\u201d on Android and the web, made it more difficult to view tweets in chronological order. Following significant pushback, Twitter announced Monday that it would be reverting things to the way they used to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe heard you \u2014 some of you always want to see latest Tweets first,\u201d Twitter said in a tweet on its support account<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ve switched the timeline back and removed the tabbed experience for now while we explore other options.\u201d<\/p>\n

We heard you \u2013\u2013 some of you always want to see latest Tweets first. We’ve switched the timeline back and removed the tabbed experience for now while we explore other options. https:\/\/t.co\/euVcPr9ij6<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) March 14, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Some users shared criticism<\/a> of the change<\/a> almost immediately after its March 10th announcement, as the Latest feed is preferred to the Home feed for many. The out-of-sequence Home feed can, at times, be confusing, especially for people who use Twitter for updates during a breaking news event like the war in Ukraine. However, two Twitter<\/a> execs<\/a> noted in replies to Verge<\/em> contributing editor Casey Newton that they would be working on the problem, and it appears that the original change won\u2019t be going through as planned.<\/p>\n

\n

The constant forced reversion to the home timeline is Twitter\u2019s worst product decision in ages. I\u2019m here for the latest tweets, not the greatest tweets!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) March 12, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe take feedback seriously, and in this case, we heard the new pinned Home & Latest wasn\u2019t giving you the level of control over your timeline that you want,\u201d Twitter spokesperson Shaokyi Amdo said in a statement to The Verge<\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, based on what the execs said, it seems Twitter may be investigating other possible changes to the timeline in the future. \u201cGiving people choice and control over their Twitter experience is super important,\u201d Twitter\u2019s newly named<\/a> VP of consumer product, Jay Sullivan, said in a reply to Newton on March 12th<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ll be working on this. Stay tuned.\u201d Sullivan added that he was hoping the platform could achieve \u201ca nice balance for all.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
