Soon you will no longer have to worry about being out of the loop on Twitter if you forget to check in your usual five or fifty times a day.

Twitter Inc. has started rolling out a new feature to select users that recaps some of the most popular and interesting tweets they may have missed since the last time they logged in.

Most Twitter accounts have the ability to follow up to 2,000 people at once, and while the average Twitter user never comes close to that number, newsfeeds can quickly become unwieldy within a short time. The new “While you were away” feature addresses this problem by snapshotting some of the top tweets, giving users a second chance to catch the hottest topics they may have missed the first time around.

The feature is not live yet on Twitter, but it has started showing up simultaneously on the mobile app for significant numbers of users as of the New Year.

CNBC’s Eli Langer noticed the feature when he opened his Twitter app this morning.

“A snapshot of what’s happening”

Twitter first announced plans for the feature or something similar back in a November blog post.

“We’re experimenting with better ways to give you what you come to Twitter for: a snapshot of what’s happening,” Twitter’s Trevor O’Brien wrote. “We can use information like who you follow and what you engage with to surface highlights of what you missed and show those to you as soon as you log back in or come back to the app.”

The post included a list of other planned features that Twitter would be experimenting with over the coming months. These included improved support for multimedia content such as video and images, better relevancy algorithms, and the option of a prebuilt news feed for new accounts.

All of these features are part of an effort to make Twitter more convenient and useful, both for people new to Twitter and for longtime users.
