New York: A \u2018change is coming\u2019 to the recommendation algorithm of Elon Musk\u2019s X (formerly Twitter) so that a post pinned by a user to their profile, is visible to all their followers, the billionaire announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis only applies to one pinned post every ~48 hours to prevent gaming of the system,\u201d Musk wrote on the social network.<\/p>\n
While Musk\u2019s announcement is not clear on when exactly the change will be made \u2013 whether the algorithm in the process of being modified or will be modified in near future \u2013 it comes around a week after he first declared that such a move was in the pipeline.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you pin a post, it is now automatically added to your highlights section. Soon, we will adjust the algorithm to prioritize showing pinned posts to your followers. This will only work once per day to prevent gaming of the system,\u201d he wrote on the platform on February 21.<\/p>\n
As the name shows, such a post is \u2018pinned\u2019 to the top of a person\u2019s profile, and is the first post one sees on visiting that profile. It can be an individual post by that user; a reply, or a repost.<\/p>\n
How to pin a post?<\/p>\n
(1.) Open the app and tap your profile icon on the top left.<\/p>\n
(2.) Tap \u2018Profile\u2019.<\/p>\n
(3.) Swipe to the post you want to be pinned.<\/p>\n
(4.) Tap \u2018More\u2019 on the top-right of the post.<\/p>\n
(5.) Click \u2018Pin to Profile\u2019 and \u2018Pin\u2019 in the pop-up message.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
