Twitter Setting Causes Missing Tweets

Twitter Setting Causes Missing Tweets

By Mitch Bartlett 9 Comments

Twitter experience has sucked since they made changes to the service where some Tweets are filtered from your timeline. I used to have a nice little community on the site, following many people I enjoyed regularly communicating with on the service. But I suddenly noticed that I was missing tweets on my timeline from many of the people I liked to tweet with. The tweets would appear in my custom “Lists”, but not in my main feed. Something had to have changed or wasn’t working properly.

It turns out, there was a setting enabled on my account that “personalizes” the experience on Twitter. Perhaps I accidentally toggled this setting. If I did enable it, I had no idea that it actually filters tweets.

To disable the setting that causes these missing tweets, follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Twitter account.
  2. Select the icon of your profile pic, located at the upper-right portion of the screen, then choose “Settings and privacy“.
  3. Scroll down to the “Content” section.
  4. Check or uncheck the “Show the best Tweets first” option as you desire. Unchecking this option allowed my timeline to be more natural instead of featuring things chosen by Twitter’s algorithm.

 

That was it! Once I disable that setting, there we no more problems with missing tweets on my timeline. Now I can get back to enjoying everybody’s tweets instead of Twitter trying to figure out what I like.

    I don’t have this option either but still see the most popular tweets. I rarely see the ppl I interact with most. I don’t even see my own tweet come up in the feed after posting.

    I don’t have that option. Maybe they took it away. I see the tweets from the same people all the time. on my newsfeed. Why are so many of the tweets from the people I’m following never show up? Is there a new way to change that?
    Thank you

    Twitter – Your changes are a bloody nightmare.
    Considering stopping and deleting account altogether.
    It is no way any easier to use, and extremely confusing.

    I have always had “show me best tweets first” unchecked, but recently started getting the option to “show more tweets” on my feed. That box is still unchecked, so there’s another problem somewhere.

    No, Some tweets I made a few minutes ago are not showing up anywhere.

    Some tweets I make show up right away, others just seem to disappear.
