Twitter for Android updated with ‘while you were away’ timeline recap

Twitter for Android was updated tonight with support for Twitter’s “while you were away” recap feature, which surfaces tweets the app finds relevant to you when you’ve spent some time away from the microblogging service.

A lot can happen while you’re on the go. To fill in some of those gaps, we will surface a few of the best Tweets you probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise, determined by engagement and other factors. If you check in on Twitter now and then for a quick snapshot of what’s happening, you’ll see this recap more often; if you spend a lot of time on Twitter already, you’ll see it less.

The feature first rolled out to iOS users last month. You can grab the update for free from the Google Play Store.
