Twitter has reversed its decision to introduce its algorithmically designed feed as the only default option on the social network. A new update from the company says, "We've switched the timeline back and removed the tabbed experience for now while we explore other options." This comes after feedback from the Twitter community around the company's new tabbed design that it introduced last week, so you could find your "Latest Tweets" on a separate feed.

The update was introduced on March 10th, and the company decided to reverse the feature by March 14th. That quick turnaround, and the fact the company opens its statement with "we heard you," heavily suggests this change comes from negative user feedback over that period. The new statement from Twitter suggests it will continue to experiment with other ideas for changing the feed on the social network, but it's not yet clear what the company will introduce in the future.

Twitter wasn't ditching the reverse-chronological feed altogether, but it was instead moving it to its own tab so you would have found the algorithmic one when you open the app. Now that the feature is being rolled back, you'll still be able to select the specific way you want to see your tweets presented, and it will remain there for at least a while before defaulting back to the algorithmically generated feed.

Twitter switched from a reverse-chronological feed in 2016 to its algorithmically designed one we know today. In 2019, Android devices were able to switch back to the chronological feed for the first time since the 2016 change. It seems Twitter will be using this design of its software across all its platforms for a little while longer, but expect the company to change more in the future when it works out a new way to do this.
