Twitter launches its ‘While you were away’ feature on Android

by 6 comments

Last month, when Twitter rolled out its While you were away feature on iOS, it said that the functionality will arrive on Android (as well as the Web) soon. Now, the company has made good on that promise by making the feature available for users of Google’s mobile operating system.

For those who are not in the know, the way it works is: if you haven’t checked in on Twitter for a while, the feature gives you a recap of some of the top Tweets (determined by engagement and other factors) that you might have missed from the accounts you follow.

According to a New York Times report, you can’t turn the feature off, although if dismissed enough times by hitting the X at the top of the summary, the system will show recaps less frequently.
