Twitter has revealed that the latest version of the application for iOS and Android smartphones now re which "tab" the last selected. After closing and reopening the app, Twitter will always display the last used tab first. Twitter rolled out the same functionality for its Web platform earlier in January. Twitter CEO Elon Musk, assured s last month that an update will reverse the default “For You” tab setting. “Next Twitter update will whether you were on For You (ie recommended), Following or list you made & stop switching you back to recommended tweets,” he said.

In a tweet explaining the changes, Twitter asked s to install the latest version of the Twitter app so that the app will if you opened the For you or Following feed and open that tab the next time you open the app. The company has also confirmed that the update is now available for Twitter on iOS and Android.

In a January update, Twitter divided the home page into two tabs: For You and Following. The latter functions as a regular timeline of the s you follow, with tweets in chronological order, whereas the For You tab displays tweets recommended by the company's algorithms. The update removed the ability to make the Following tab the default.
