He pointed out that the new user experience will mainly be based on simple gestures, making interactions such as tapping the heart and replying faster.
At the same time, X users will still be able to view the number of likes, retweets, and views of a tweet by individually clicking on it.
The new interface design will encourage user engagement through long press and swipe selection, similar to a video game interface.
In response, X software engineer Ellis Driscoll confirmed the news in replies to users and stated that the feature will be rolled out in the coming weeks.
I personally am not part of this department, but employees are indeed testing it, and it should gradually be released to users in the next few weeks, at which point the app interface may undergo some changes.
Currently, X has not provided an explanation for the aforementioned changes, but Stanley stated that X will focus more on improving user experience and increasing operability in the menu as much as possible.
In response, some users expressed appreciation, stating that the feature could help shift attention to the content and quality of tweets rather than solely focusing on popular ones with high engagement, which could reduce the trend of pursuing popularity without focusing on content.
The new feature will allow users to see the content they truly enjoy watching, rather than algorithmically generated content that is popular among the masses.
Furthermore, this change may indirectly reduce the frequency of like farms on the X platform and decrease the comparative psychology among young people, thereby enhancing the user experience.
However, there are still some users who prefer the original intuitive and straightforward operating interface and criticize the need for two clicks instead of the previous single tap.
