Whatever you say about Elon's tenure, Twitter does ship now

But they seemed to have taken away the only reason I use twitter: to see the latest posts on something local/obscure.

For example, I can see smoke outside of my window. I find the best way to see what is happening used to be to search twitter for "fire $CITY" and sort posts by 'Latest'.

Or maybe a service I use isn't responding. I often can see if other people are having the same issues by searching 'github webhooks' long before github will show any sort of status error on their status page.

But Latest is gone, which means I only get the Top posts from months ago from someone who has 1000s of followers, which I don't care about at all.

Ive just tried this (web app on iPhone) and it’s still there for me.

I use this a lot too for similar reasons to you.

Edit: I don’t know if this is different behaviour from before but the “Latest” tab didn’t appear until I performed a search.

Interesting. 'Latest' seems to be available again as of this afternoon. It disappeared about two weeks ago, and wasn't there this morning, but is now.

For a few days it was only there if you logged in. I'm with you that's the only way I use Twitter, made an account specifically to be able to search with latest, but looks like it's back to always there now.
