Twitter announced another feature it’s working on. Have you noticed that sometimes you’ll be reading a tweet and the timeline seems to auto-refresh? Well, there’s going to be a fix for it eventually.
According to the Twitter Support page, over the next two months, the company will be rolling out updates to the way tweets are presented so they won’t disappear.
The company explains:
The background: a Tweet would move up the timeline as replies were added to the ongoing convo. Since some convos can evolve quickly, this made it so you didn’t see the same Tweet repeated in the TL.
We will make sure that you have a fresh TL and your tweets don’t disappear mid-read.
It’s a weird move from the company, but it is in fact an issue for many users.
Over the last few months, Twitter has been testing a lot of features as it’s also implementing them. More recently, the company started rolling out a new Timeline look, which resembles a lot of Facebook’s News Feed.
Twitter’s new timeline for iOS automatically takes photos, videos and GIFs, then stretches them to full width. This makes the iOS app edge-to-edge and removes all margins. The company says:
Now testing on iOS: Edge to edge Tweets that span the width of the timeline so your photos, GIFs, and videos can have more room to shine.
Twitter doesn’t say when it’s going to implement all of these features, but we’ll let you know once the company does.
Is this the new timeline you are using to prevent tweets disappearing from your computer? Leave a comment below.
