Twitter is rolling out a new feature that will show users articles that are popular. Dubbed as Popular Articles, the feature was being tested for sometime and is now rolling out to everyone on iOS and Android.
First spotted by BuzzFeed, Popular Articles will surface articles that are being shared or discussed by people you follow. Furthermore, the feature will also show links to articles popular in your particular location. You can find Popular Articles in your the Explore tab, along with Trending and Today’s Moments. When you click on a particular headline, the article opens in the Twitter app.
BuzzFeed further notes that the latest feature is similar to an app called Nuzzel, which aggregates news articles that have been liked and shared by people in your network. Twitter has been struggling to increase its user base that remained unchanged at 328 million in Q2 2017.
