NEW from Twitter. Kind of.

“Smash that sparkle” — Taylor Lorenz

Twitter's reverse-chronological feed is back with a sparkle. Literally.

Yesterday, Twitter re-launched its original feed — and that means newest tweets are back at the top. Users can now quickly switch between a ranked timeline and reverse-chronological timeline by toggling the “sparkle button” at the top-right corner of their feed. ✨✨✨

Goodbye to the algorithm feed?

Twitter introduced “top tweets” — the algorithm-driven feed designed to surface popular tweets with lots of engagement — back in 2016. That was also around the time when Facebook was way ahead of Twitter, so it began reinventing itself. Like with Moments. And Polls. And Twitter Live. And Threads.

But people have always loved Twitter because of its ability to tell us what’s happening right now.

“Every morning I switch Twitter back to showing tweets in chronological order and every night Twitter switches it back. This is the boulder I must push uphill.” — Thomas

Thank you for listening to us, Twitter. We'd love an edit button now.
