Twitter launches Moments feature for 'the day's biggest and best stories'

Twitter's launched a new feature called Moments to make it easier to see the day's biggest and best stories.

It works by grouping together interesting and important tweets on single subjects - which you can then read, even if you don't follow the people tweeting them.

Moments will appear in a special tab rather than on your timeline.

It's hoped this will appeal to people who find Twitter too confusing to start with.

The Moments tab will be divided into sections including news, sports and entertainment.

But it doesn't have to be for serious stories...

This is a tweet that shows coverage of the World Beard & Moustache Championships.

To open Moments, you have to click on a lightning bolt icon. You'll then see a list of stories "that matter right now".

When you click into an individual Moment, you can then start swiping through a collection of tweets, videos, GIFs, photos and Vines - all on the same subject.

Here's an example that Twitter put together.

You can tap into individual tweets and then do all the normal things like favouriting or re-tweeting.

It's hoped it'll be especially popular for breaking news and live sport.

For now, it's only being rolled out in America but will be heading to Europe soon.

This is how Twitter announced Moments.

But like tweets, Moments can be shared anywhere.

Twitter has been planning Moments for months. It's been struggling to get more people to use the service and is aware that some people find it confusing.

It's hoped putting related tweets all in once place will be more appealing.

Madhu Muthukumar is Twitter's project manager for Moments.

"We know finding these only-on-Twitter moments can be a challenge, especially if you haven't followed certain accounts. But it doesn't have to be."
