Twitter to fix the disappearing tweets bug

A lot of people have complained lately about tweets disappearing while they are being read. This would happen if someone replies to a tweet that you were reading, causing the app to refresh. This would send the tweet to the top of the conversation depending on how active that particular thread is, thereby making it disappear from your view.

The background: a Tweet would move up the timeline as replies were added to the ongoing convo. Since some convos can evolve quickly, this made it so you didn't see the same Tweet repeated in the TL. Our changes will keep your TL fresh and keep Tweets from disappearing mid-read.

The company has said that it has several updates and changes in the works that will make this process smoother and stop tweets from disappearing while you are reading them. The catch is its going to take them a couple of months to make these changes, so you still have to wait for the problem to get fixed.

In other news, Twitter's legal troubles from a 2016 class action lawsuit may finally be coming to an end. The company was sued over allegedly misleading shareholder's and investors about daily engagement and viewership numbers.

Twitter said that it would pay $809.5 million dollars to settle the dispute while both the company and the defendants continue to deny the allegations.
