X\u2019s new feature is similar to Bluesky\u2019s and Threads\u2019 custom feeds, which also allow you to pin topic-based timelines to the home screens of the apps, and which their users have been enjoying since 2023 and 2024, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">At the moment, X\u2019s custom timelines is still in its early access phase and is only available to Premium subscribers on iOS.
