A month after Twitter launched "While You Were Away" feature for iOS, it is now finally available to Android users.

According to TechCrunch, the "While You Were Away" feature that has been launched features significant changes from the one that previewed last year. For instance, instead of showing all the tweets that you missed in reverse chronological order, its showcases the "best tweets" based on user engagement.

When users open their Twitter app, it is the first thing that they see in their main Twitter feed, which may be annoying for some people who don't want to scroll through a host of notifications to see fresh tweet.

Also, it offers the same experience that users can turn to Facebook for.
