Twitter today announced a new feature that allows anyone to turn off the love-it-or-hate-it algorithmic curation feature.
Toggle the switch to on, and you’ll see the tweets you’re most likely to be interested in from while you’re away. The best tweets, or those Twitter says you’re most likely to care about, appear at the top of the feed, while real-time tweets reside underneath. Pull to refresh and you’ll see a new batch of real-time tweets, just like you normally would.
Turn the feature off, and you’ll get the reverse chronological timeline you say you want (even though you probably don’t really want it).
4/ So, we’re working on providing you with an easily accessible way to switch between a timeline of Tweets that are most relevant for you and a timeline of the latest Tweets. You’ll see us test this in the coming weeks.

The feature, Twitter says, has been shown to improve engagement by highlighting relevant content from the people you engage with most often, thereby creating the types of healthy interactions the company has made it a mission to facilitate in recent months.
To turn it on, just click Settings from the iOS or Android Twitter app. Find the relevant section for the timeline (content settings on iOS), and toggle the switch to the ON position.
People are happy about a Twitter platform change. This is confusing. https://t.co/ctzy21dJZu
