Twitter’s ‘For You’ tab just got more useful on iOS and Android


If you primarily use Twitter on an iPhone or Android, like most of the world, the company has released an update that you’ll be quite happy about.

In an update on the social media platform, the Twitter support account announced an “update to the latest version of the app” so that “for you” and “follow” are the defaults for the tabs you have open.

Prior to the update, users on iOS and Android would always default to the “For You” tab in the app, even if they previously closed the app using the “Following” tab. This was annoying for anyone who didn’t want to see all the suggested content that Twitter wanted them to see and see which accounts they were following.

Now, if you leave the Twitter app on iOS and Android using the “Following” tab and open it later, it will stay on the “Following” tab. For anyone who wants to avoid seeing what the Twitter algorithm has in store for them, this is a great update. The company had already rolled out such an update to Twitter on the web last week.

The move to improve Twitter’s experience on iOS and Android comes within a week of the company announcing a ban on third-party clients such as Tweetbot and Twitterrific. The move will eventually force all users of the social media platform to use the official app offered by the company.


While they are forced to use the official Twitter app, the company is looking to cash in on that. Within the last week, Twitter confirmed plans to start charging for access to its API. Over the weekend, a report found that the company is looking to charge as much as $1000 per month to stay verified on the platform. With the loss of advertising revenue, the company is looking at where it can charge.
