Twitter users would soon be able to move between tweets, trends, topics, lists, and more by using a side swipe, revealed by Elon Musk. Since his $44 billion (approximately Rs. 3.6 lakh crore) takeover, the new Twitter CEO has made significant modifications to the social media network. He also stated that numerous key UI updates for the platform will be implemented in January. Twitter recently pushed out the View Count for Tweets function globally, with the goal of demonstrating how active the site is, as most users are thought to simply read a tweet without interacting.

Musk said in a post on Saturday that a new side swipe functionality will be available on the platform in January. This feature is said to make it easier for users to find suggested and following tweets, trends, topics, and lists. Furthermore, Musk claims that when Twitter AI improves, “suggested tweets, lists, and subjects will become amazing.” Twitter currently allows users to browse tweets in chronological order or on the Home timeline, which includes recommended tweets.

New Twitter navigation coming in Jan that allows swiping to side to switch between recommended & followed tweets, trends, topics, etc.

Until then, tap stars icon on upper right of home screen to switch.
