Twitter will stop forcing you onto its ‘For You’ timeline

Soon you may be able to more-or-less set one of the tabs as default. Twitter's next update should make it less insistent that you use the For You" algorithmic timeline, according to a tweet from Elon Musk. He says the app will stop switching you back to recommended tweets," and remember if you left it on the reverse-chronological Following" timeline or a pinned list.
Musk's promises should be taken with a grain of salt, but I hope the company delivers on this one. Until last month, Twitter had a button that let you set a preference on which version of the timeline you wanted to use. That option went away when the company rolled out a UI that let you swipe between the two timelines, with the app defaulting to opening on the algorithmic one.
Next Twitter update will remember whether you were on For You...
