Twitter Rolls Out Latest Feature to Androids
About a month ago, Twitter released its “While You Were Away” feature for iOS users. This week, Android users get to experience the non-optional functionality. The feature allows you to check in and quickly get up to speed on what you missed while you were… well away. No more scrolling to see what you may have missed. You will now see a recap of the top tweets since your last feed check. Hope you like it because, fortunately or unfortunately, you can’t turn this feature off.

As of the writing of this post, the bug has not yet been contained.

Viewers can fast forward, slow-mo or even make video loops go forward and backwards with just a drag of their mouse.
