JAKARTA - Twitter is testing a new way to switch to a reverse chronological feed that might make it a little easier for users. This was announced by the micro blogging company on Tuesday, October 12.

Currently, when you tap the three-star icon at the top of your Feed to switch between the Home feed (which sorts tweets for you) or the Recent feed (which shows them in reverse chronological order), a small menu appears asking you to switch to which feed. even inactive. However, for some users on iOS, when you tap the three-star icon, Twitter is testing a new Home or Latest tab at the top of your screen.

What the changes are like, according to Twitter. If you've pinned the list, the tabs should look familiar:

Top Tweets first or latest Tweets first? We're making it easier to switch between the two timelines and know which one you're scrolling.Now testing with some of you on iOS: swipe between "Home" and "Latest" on the Home tab to choose which Tweets you see first . pic.twitter.com/LoyAN4cONu

This change does feel like an improvement because it means fewer taps to switch between feeds and makes it easier to tell at a glance which feed you're looking at. However, it's unclear if Twitter plans to roll out the test more broadly and, if so, it will certainly be worth the wait.
