After testing it for a while, Twitter is finally rolling out the ability to switch between the latest and top Tweets on iOS. When enabled, this will bring the latest Tweets to the top in you want to know what’s been happening. Twitter says that, over time, the company will learn your behavior. If you regularly switch to the latest tweets, Twitter will by default show them to you.

However, at the moment, the feature is only available for iOS but is coming soon to Android. It can be enabled from a toggle, and once done, you will see a pop-up saying that they are viewing latest Tweets, but can switch to top Tweets or can view the preferences. The company says the move comes from the fact that the twitter is often used in real-time, particularly during live events such as sports games or the Oscars.
The company calls it “sparkle” and can be enabled through a button that is present on the top right corner. As for Android, the feature will be made available in the days to come.
