As with Facebook's feed and Instagram's feeds, Twitter also lets you switch between its own algorithm-run timeline and a timeline that is sorted from most recent to oldest tweets. And so, if you're not particularly interested in Twitter's recommended tweets in its Home timeline, you still have the option to view a chronologically sorted timeline instead.
In this guide, we'll show you how to view tweets in your timeline chronologically either on the desktop website or on the mobile app. You can't go wrong with either method: They're both incredibly simple.
A web browser or the Twitter mobile app
If you normally scroll through Twitter via a desktop web browser, this is the method for you. Here's how to view the most recent tweets first on Twitter's desktop website:
Step 1: Go to Twitter.com and log into your account if you haven't already.
Step 2: Once logged in, you'll see your Home timeline. To switch your timeline view to show the most recent tweets first, select the Three star sparkle icon. It's located in the top right corner of your main timeline.
Step 3: From the menu that appears, select the See latest Tweets instead option. This option is also marked with a Double arrows icon.
That's it. You're now viewing your Twitter timeline chronologically with the most recent tweets posted at the top.
You can also sort your timeline chronologically via the Twitter mobile app. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Open the Twitter app on your mobile device.
Step 2: On the main timeline screen, select the Three star sparkle icon at the top of your screen.
Step 3: From the menu that appears, choose the Switch to latest Tweets option. This menu option is also marked with a Double arrows icon.
And that's pretty much it. Your timeline should immediately be sorted now to show you the most recent tweets first.
You just opened X and started typing your thoughts. Imagine the jump scare when a hand suddenly pops up on your screen, pointing at the promote button. It doesn’t say a word and simply points. For a growing number of X users, this isn’t a made-up scenario but something they have been seeing since yesterday, and very few of them are amused.
Most of us have learned to tune out the usual in-app upsells, whether it’s a glowing upgrade banner or a pop-up about a premium plan. A floating hand hovering over your draft is much harder to ignore, and that’s probably the whole point.
Scroll through any app for five minutes, and you’ll find someone maxxing something. Their skin, their sleep, their protein intake, even their Friday night on the couch. That little suffix has been everywhere this year, and now it has a trophy to show for it. In a recent announcement, Dictionary.com named maxxing its 2026 Word of the Year.
What are people actually doing when they’re maxxing?
Instagram is testing a new format for long-form videos called Features. It allows select creators to upload horizontal videos running up to 90 minutes long. Instagram has already tested the new format with creators in Brazil, and now, it's expanding to tens of thousands of creators across the US.
How will Instagram's new Features format work?
