The company will look into other possibilities for the timeline in the future.
Following a backlash from users, Twitter's decision to deliver the Home feed algorithmically, with the reserve-chronological Latest feed accessible in a different tab, has been rethought.

Twitter executives stated that they will be looking into this and that the initial update will not be implemented as planned. Twitter’s VP of consumer product, Jay Sullivan, said, "I’ll be working on this."
