Twitter’s For You tabbed Interface begins rolling out to desktop web browsers

Twitter’s “For You” tab, which debuted on iOS devices earlier this weekThe desktop web browsers have begun to receive a new version of. The new interface replaces the “sparkle” icon that previously allowed you to toggle between the platform’s algorithmically generated and reverse chronological feeds.

As The Verge notesThe default view that you see when you first access Twitter is the For You Tab. That said, the desktop version doesn’t appear to force you to stick with the For You feed like Twitter’s updated iOS app does. When I visited the website on my computer, I switched to the “Following” view and then closed the browser tab where I was viewing my feed. The site defaulted back to the Following view when I opened a new browser tab and navigated back towards Twitter.

Twitter on Friday said the new interface would roll out to Android devices “soon.” Twitter introduced a similar feature in 2022, only to abandon the idea days after a chorus of users complained they didn’t want the previously named Home feed imposed on them. Musk announced that Twitter would be making the changes at the end last year. “Main timeline should allow for an easy sideways swipe between the top, latest, trending and topics that follow,” he said at the time. After you search, Twitter search nav sorta does this.
