Twitter, in a TitTok effect, now gives the user the option to choose between two tabs For you, or Following.
In a change that was rolled out to iOS users first, the company removed the star button at the top right that allows you to switch between two fonts. Instead, there are two tabs, one labeled “For You” and the other “Following,” and when you open the app, you’ll see the For You tab first. The option is already enabled for web, but it was delayed for Android devices.
See the Tweets you want to see. Starting today on iOS, swipe between tabs to see Tweets recommended “For you” or Tweets from the accounts you’re “Following.”

For You, who shares a name with the feed Powered by TikTok’s algorithms, it’s similar to the old “Home” option, which displays tweets from people you follow, interspersed with tweets it thinks you might like, though reminds The Vergem that this isn’t the first time Twitter has copied a TikTok feature.
The following is what used to be called “Latest Tweets”. While the change makes it easier to switch between them, with just a swipe instead of a few taps, there’s one thing you’ve been missing: if you set your app to show you “Latest Tweets”, that would normally stick. . Now, however, even when you close the app and reopen it, the For You feed is displayed. That’s a bit annoying; there are many people who prefer reverse chronological transmission, and previous attempts to get rid of it or make it more difficult to access have generally caused much discomfort.
While this change technically makes it easier to access from the algorithmic timeline, it definitely makes the latter option harder to ignore. The old interface with the star button is still available on Android.
The change partially fulfills a promise by Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who tweeted on December 20 that “the main timeline should allow for easy side-swiping between the most prominent, the latest, the most popular and the topics that are followed,” and said the company would “make this change soon.” So far, there’s no option to jump to trending and followed topics, though the trending page is just a few taps away in the search menu.
