Until now on Twitter you could follow other users or social network accounts, however this was not enough for many. Some users demanded the ability to follow specific topics, that is, a topic that contains related Tweets from multiple users even if you are not followed by some of the users who have posted Tweets on that particular topic..
In addition, these topics you follow will be grouped into a section called Themes from which you can manage the topics followed. This function is already available from the official Twitter app for Android and iOS, however it is also available in the desktop version.
In this tutorial we show you how to follow topics on Twitter so that Tweets related to a specific topic are displayed on your home wall. You will also learn to manage the topics you follow on your Twitter account:
