Twitter users rejoice! The popular social media platform is rolling out a new navigation feature in January that will allow users to easily switch between recommended and followed tweets, trends, topics, and more. The new feature will allow users to simply swipe to the side of their home screen in order to access different categories of content. Until then, Twitter recommends tapping the stars icon on the upper right of the home screen in order to switch between content categories. The new navigation feature is part of an effort by Twitter to make its user experience more seamless and intuitive for its millions of daily active users. The company has also recently rolled out features such as “Spaces” - a way for people to join audio conversations with other users - as well as Fleets - which are similar to stories on Instagram. These changes come at a time when Twitter is facing increased competition from other social media platforms such as TikTok and Snapchat, both of which have seen significant growth over the past year. With these new features, Twitter hopes to keep up with its competitors while also providing its existing user base with an improved experience. In addition to this new navigation feature, Twitter has also announced plans for a “conversation hub” that will help connect people around shared interests and topics. This hub will be available on both desktop and mobile devices, allowing people from all over the world to engage in meaningful conversations about whatever they choose. It remains unclear how exactly this conversation hub will work or what it might look like; however, it appears that it could potentially revolutionize how we interact with each other online by creating a safe space for discussion without fear of judgement or harassment. It could also help bridge divides between different groups who may not normally interact due to geographical or ideological differences. Overall, these changes signal an exciting future for Twitter users everywhere who can now look forward to an even better user experience come January 2021!
