X Rolls Out AI-Powered Custom Timelines for Premium Users

X, formerly Twitter, has announced it is launching a custom timelines feature that allows users to pin specific topics to their home tab in the X app for iOS.

The company says custom timelines are powered by Grok AI, which understands the social media platform's algorithm personalization so that timelines are tuned for individual users.

Paying users will see an Add+ button appear next to the Following tab, with support for over 75 topics, ranging from design to robotics to real estate. X says Grok's filters work even better for topics a user already engages with.

Early access to custom timelines is currently limited to Premium subscribers on iOS, with Android set to follow "soon."


Today, X is also rolling out a tool to snooze topics on the For You tab, allowing users to tune out politics- or sports-related posts, for example.

Why is this being covered?

I don’t see what this has to do with Apple.

The "For You" tab is pointless to me. I use "Recent" on the Following tab. I am uninterested in an algorithm-driven timeline.

I really don't think this warrants front-page coverage, regardless if its tangentially Apple-related or not.

Maybe if X announced it's finally giving us the ability to see only accounts we follow in the feed as people have been asking for years, that might be news.

It’s the leading social media app for news and it’s an iPhone-first feature. How is it NOT Apple-related?
