As guaranteed by Elon Musk, Twitter has started implementing its updated user interface. Only iOS users can currently access the new design, which is available on the Twitter app.
The “For you” and “Following” tabs are now pinned to the top of the user’s timeline and take the place of the previous “Home” and “Latest” tabs, making it simpler to switch between the two.
Updated User Interface
Users can swipe between tabs to see tweets recommended “for you” or tweets from accounts the user is “following,” according to the Twitter Support handle.
By default, users will only see tweets from accounts they follow. Swiping instead of pressing the star or sparkle icon, which users previously used to select the “For you” and “Latest” options, can change timelines.

Mashable India tells us that it is important to note that the new interface is yet to be available for Android users and has yet to be rolled out to customers in India. The launch date for the Android version has yet to be announced by Twitter.
More from the Bird App
According to Musk, the updated user interface is just part of a more extensive makeover for Twitter. The platform’s most significant new feature is set to debut in February and will allow users to publish “long-form tweets” as part of the upgrade.
Musk had previously stated that users could write tweets with up to 4,000 characters; however, the actual character count is still unknown.
Twitter users could first share their thoughts and ideas in 140 characters, but in 2018, the app raised the limit to 280 characters.
Musk has hinted that users will be able to post tweets with up to 4,000 characters in December 2022, but his most recent tweet still needs to confirm the character limit.
In a broad sense, it is anticipated that the new user interface and the upcoming long-form tweets feature will provide users with a more unique and exciting experience on the platform. Twitter users will eagerly anticipate the new design’s gradual rollout and the upcoming feature.
