Will fix disappearing tweets issue, says Twitter

Twitter said that the company was planning to make some changes that could prevent tweets from disappearing while users are reading them.

"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 official Twitter handle of Twitter Support said.

According to The Verge, if you were looking at a tweet on your timeline, and at the same time someone else you follow replied to it, or the original tweeter threaded it, the app would suddenly refresh, while the tweet disappeared from view. That's obviously not ideal, so Twitter plans to make changes over the next two months to fix the problem, the report said.

"We want you to be able to stop and read a Tweet without it disappearing from view," Twitter replied to a user on Wednesday.

However, because of the two-month timeline, a fix may not be available right away, so users may still encounter the problem before Twitter makes the necessary changes.

While it's unclear what changes Twitter plans to make, those who have been affected by the disappearing tweets may appreciate the fixes.

The micro-blogging site has recently restarted its account verification process. Twitter said users who are looking to be verified should keep checking their account settings screen for access to the in-app application.

Since launching the revamped verification program, Twitter had hit a few snags which forced it to shut down verifications more than once.

The most recent of these pauses were announced on August 13, when the company said it needed to make improvements to both the application and review process.
