Twitter’s ‘For You’ feed has been a topic of frustration for many users due to its seemingly random selection of tweets from accounts that they do not follow. However, it appears that these tweets are not truly random and are linked to users’ activity on the app. To address users’ concerns, Twitter is reportedly working on a new option that will allow users to understand why they are seeing certain tweets in their feeds. The new option will be accessed by tapping the three dots menu on any tweet, which will take users to a new ‘Why you’re seeing this tweet’ element. This section will provide a brief overview of why the specific tweet is being shown, including mutual follows and related interests based on users’ in-app actions. While the new option is not yet in official testing, it may help to alleviate users’ frustration with the ‘For You’ feed and increase engagement on the platform.
