Twitter is introducing a new feature sto your home timeline - a recap of some of the top Tweets you might have missed from accounts you follow. The new "While you were away" recap feature is available today on iOS and "soon" on Twitter.com and Android.

A banner will appear in your feed, showing you the top tweets that you missed since you last opened the app. The company initially announced plans for a feature like this in November.

Twitter says that the tweets it shows are determined by engagement, as well as other factors.

"Our goal is to help you keep up - or catch up - with your world, no matter how much time you spend on Twitter. With a few improvements to the home timeline we think we can do a better job of delivering on that promise without compromising the real time nature of Twitter," the company said in a blog post.
