Fortunately, it gave users the option to opt-out if they didn\u2019t like the change. In 2018, the platform introduced a sparkle button, letting users switch to the reverse chronological feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, the social media giant improved the functionality of this button by letting users pin the <strong>Latest<\/strong> feed. A year later, i.e., 2023, X changed the feed\u2019s names from <strong>Home<\/strong> and <strong>Latest<\/strong> to <strong>For<\/strong> <strong>You<\/strong> and <strong>Following<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do you switch the feeds? Here\u2019s how to see latest tweets first on Twitter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open X in a new tab on your desktop browser or the official mobile app.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll see two tabs on the mobile app at the top of your feed \u2014 <strong>For<\/strong><strong>You<\/strong> and <strong>Following<\/strong>. Tap <strong>Following<\/strong> to switch to the reverse chronological timeline. On the desktop browser, left-click <strong>Following<\/strong> to change your feed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Following<\/strong> tab only shows the latest posts from people you follow on the platform. It doesn\u2019t contain any out-of-network tweets, i.e., tweets from users who aren\u2019t on your follow list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, when you leave X, ensure you\u2019re on the <strong>Following<\/strong> feed. This way, X will open the same timeline when you return to the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2-17.jpg\" alt=\"A white wall with a white light switch.\" class=\"wp-image-4210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2-17.jpg 640w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2-17-300x236.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Get_Latest_Tweets_on_Twitter_With_Twitter_Lists\"><\/span>How To Get Latest Tweets on Twitter With Twitter Lists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/what-are-twitter-lists-personalize-your-feed-in-5-minutes\/\">Twitter or X Lists<\/a> is another way to get the latest tweets on X first. It\u2019s a powerful feature that lets you choose what you want to see in your timeline. You can also see posts from accounts you don\u2019t follow in reverse chronological order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The section below shows how to get latest tweets on Twitter by creating a Twitter or X List:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sign in to your X account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re using a desktop browser to access X, left-click Lists in the side panel. For mobile app users, tap the profile photo to see the platform\u2019s side panel. Select the <strong>Lists<\/strong> option on this menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There\u2019s an icon that resembles a page with a plus. Left-click this button to create your list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add an image, choose a title, and describe your X List.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Left-click the checkbox next to <strong>Make Private<\/strong> if you don\u2019t want your list to be searchable. Also, when you enable this setting, the people you add won\u2019t get a notification that they\u2019re on a Twitter list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the display names or usernames of the people to add in the <strong>Suggested<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>Done<\/strong> button after adding all the Twitter users to your list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Return to the <strong>Lists<\/strong> page and look for the list you created under the <strong>Your Lists<\/strong> section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Left-click the pin icon next to your new list to add it to your Twitter feed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see the list next to the <strong>Following<\/strong> tab when you visit your homepage. This feed also shows you the latest posts from the people in your list. As of July 2024, X allows you to pin up to five lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/3-20.jpg\" alt=\"A 3D render of the letter \u201cX\u201d in silver against a black background.\" class=\"wp-image-4211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/3-20.jpg 640w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/3-20-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Benefits_of_Switching_From_Algorithmic_to_the_Twitter_Newest_Posts_Feed\"><\/span>2 Benefits of Switching From Algorithmic to the Twitter Newest Posts Feed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are two reasons highlighting the benefits of switching from an algorithmic feed to the reverse chronological timeline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It becomes easier to follow the latest developments<\/strong>: The algorithmic feed doesn\u2019t always show posts in order.

You must install the Old Twitter Layout extension on Google Chrome, which lets you choose the default feed.<\/p>\n<p>It lets you switch to the original feed, i.e., tweets from people you follow in reverse chronological order. You can also turn off retweets to keep your timeline clean.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1722306005888\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>How do you filter tweets by newest while using Twitter\u2019s search feature?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You can filter tweets by newest while using Twitter\u2019s search feature by switching to the <strong>Latest<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TweetDelete_Lets_You_Control_Which_Posts_Appear_As_the_Latest_Tweets\"><\/span>TweetDelete Lets You Control Which Posts Appear As the Latest Tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After reading this guide, you should be able to switch between the latest tweets and algorithmic feeds. Use Twitter Lists to customize your timeline if you want to see posts from accounts you don\u2019t follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you publish a tweet, it will appear in your followers\u2019 feed. This means they will also be the first to see your tweets with mistakes or controversial content. For example, you joined a Twitter trend and posted multiple tweets about it. However, after you publish your posts, you realize the topic is trending because people are unhappy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In situations like this, you need to react quickly and delete the tweets before it gains traction. However, X\u2019s delete feature is only handy for removing one post at a time. What if there are multiple tweets to remove?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With TweetDelete, it becomes straightforward to delete hundreds of tweets. The mass-<a href=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/\">delete tweets<\/a> utility works well, as you can remove multiple posts from your profile page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, try the auto-delete task, which deletes specific tweets automatically. It uses your input, i.e., hashtags, keywords, and date ranges, and scans your profile. When it comes across any post that matches your criteria, it deletes the tweet immediately. It\u2019s like a personal assistant that works in the background to protect your credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/\">Subscribe to TweetDelete today<\/a> and delete your latest tweets on Twitter before they become problematic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The primary reason you use Twitter, aka X, is because you learn about the latest developments as it happens.
