Twitter experiments with replacing Moments with a new Explore feature

The Moments feature could be set to disappear from Twitter's mobile apps. Having only recently announced the roll out of a curation option to everyone, Twitter is now experimenting with replacing it with a more inviting Explore feature.

Speaking to Mashable, Twitter confirmed that a "content discovery"-focused Explorer tab could replace Moments in the future. For now, though, there is an experimental change visible to some iOS and Android users that sees the Moments and Explore tabs show up side by side.

It's something that is more than a little reminiscent of the Discover tab which used to be found in the mobile Twitter app. The company says: "As part of our continued efforts to make it easier to find what’s happening on Twitter, we’re testing a new tab for content discovery".

The Explore tab is home to suggested content such as trending topics and searches, as well as links to accounts Twitter thinks you might be interested in following. Right now, it is not clear whether Twitter plans a wider roll out, or if the Explore option will remain something for select testers for the time being.
