How to Create Multiple Timelines on the Twitter Home Screen

While Twitter rolled out the ‘multiple timeline’ feature on iOS in September last year, the Android version of Twitter has now caught up. Similar to Reddit’s Private Stream, you can now create multiple timelines on your Twitter home screen using Lists. If you don’t use lists on Twitter, I highly recommend taking advantage of this feature. I have discussed Twitter Lists extensively below, so check this out to have a better idea. Anyway, since the feature is live on both platforms, let’s go ahead and learn how to create multiple timelines on Twitter for Android and iOS.

Create Multiple Timelines on the Twitter Home Screen

One of the best features of Twitter for me is the “Lights Out” black theme and Lists apart from Bookmark. With Twitter Lists, you can create custom timelines for topics of interest to you. For example, I have separate Technology, Policy and Android Lists that I tweeple based on their domain specialization. The best part about Twitter Lists is that it works exactly the same as your default home screen timeline.

With the latest Twitter update on Android, you can now: pin these lists directly to your Twitter home screen along with the main Timeline. This minor design change made Twitter Lists more accessible, reduced user issues, and significantly improved the experience. Since the main timeline is full of all kinds of news and information – for example, if you want to read about Technology at a particular time – you can swipe left and go to the Technology timeline. Basically, multiple timelines on Twitter are a godsend for users who follow a variety of topics and people. Having said all that, let’s learn how to create multiple timelines on the Twitter home screen.

Note: Here, I have shown the steps on an Android smartphone, but the instructions are the same for iOS devices. Also, make sure to update the Twitter app to the latest version.

1. Tap the “Profile” icon in the upper left corner and Open “Lists”. Now, if you haven’t created any list, tap the “plus” icon at the bottom to create a Twitter List.

2. After you finish creating the list, Tap the “Pin” icon You can further tap on “Edit” to change the order of the Lists as well to move the specific list to the home screen.

So you can create Lists on your Twitter home screen and set up multiple Timelines. In my limited use so far, it has worked really well and there has been no delay in updating the feed with the latest tweets. However, we do not have a feature that the main timeline has, and that is the option to choose between Top Tweets and Tweets in chronological order. We hope Twitter will gradually roll out these features to the List section as well. Anyway, that’s it for us. If you liked the article, let us know in the comment section below.
