How to use Twitter Lists

Twitter Lists allow you to customize, organize and prioritize the Tweets you see in your timeline. You can choose to join Lists created by others on Twitter, or from your own account you can choose to create Lists of other accounts by group, topic or interest. Viewing a List timeline will show you a stream of Tweets from only the accounts on that List. You can also pin your favorite Lists to the top of your timeline so you never miss a Tweet from the accounts that are most important to you.
 

How to discover Lists

In your Home timeline on the Twitter for iOS and Android apps, you might see a prompt to Discover new Lists. If we suggest a List to you that’s of interest, simply tap Follow. From the prompt, you can also tap Show more to browse through our Lists discovery page. There, we will show you more Lists we might think you’d like to follow and you can search for additional Lists in the search box at the top of the page. 

We’ll also show you recommendations from the Lists you follow right in your For you timeline.
