According to Twitter, the new Explore experience is meant to help users discover the best content that’s trending.
The enhancements to the display of the “Explore” content discovery Tab are currently being tested with select users who use the platform in English, on Android, and iOS.
Right now, the new Explore display is in test mode “in certain countries,” including India where TikTok saw a massive user engagement before the country took down the app.
