Twitter announces that it will fix 'the problem that tweets in the middle of reading disappear by updating the timeline'

If the timeline is updated while you are reading a tweet on Twitter, the tweet you were reading may suddenly disappear. The official Twitter support account (@TwitterSupport) has announced that it will address this issue that has plagued many users.

Let's talk about Tweets disappearing from view mid-read when the timeline seems to auto-refresh. We know it's a frustrating experience, so we're working on changing it.

Over the next two months, we'll be rolling out updates to the way we show you Tweets so they don't disappear.

The phenomenon that the tweet you are reading disappears occurs when the account you are following sends a reply to the tweet or the poster adds the tweet as a thread. The tweet is displayed at the top of the timeline with new tweets added, but it's inconvenient that the tweet disappears while you're reading. Also, if replies are frequently skipped or threads are added, the original tweet that was being read can no longer be read from the timeline due to the mechanism of Twitter that 'the same tweet is not displayed on the timeline many times'. There is also.

The background: a Tweet would move up the timeline as replies were added to the ongoing convo. Since some convos can evolve quickly, this made it so you didn't see the same Tweet repeated in the TL.

Our changes will keep your TL fresh and keep Tweets from disappearing mid-read.
