It is a timeline though. I open Snapchat and I see all the messages and stories, in order—sorted by time. It's not jumbled, there's no features. There's no "Featured" or "Top Stories" or "Retweets". It's just a timeline of content. From people I follow or people I know who have sent things to me.

My Snapchat looks just like my Twitter did in 2008, except with a few more boobs.

ok

by definition of timeline correct, by UX of timeline no. it doesn't show you what it is without you explicitly diving into that story

What are you talking about? I open Snapchat and it's literally two timelines, a private one and a public one. They are in order and timestamped. By definition and by UX. It is perhaps a quintessential example of a timeline of content.

You are the one being pedantic in this case.

Sorry a list of content sorted by time is a timeline. I don't know what else you call that.
