Twitter doesn’t default to the “For you” tab. It remembers which one you spend most time on (I think Elon tweeted this at one point). I use chrono exclusively and it doesn’t default to the algo feed when I open the app.

At the very least, Twitter has an A/B test going on iOS which switches you back to the For You tab aggressively. It's as aggressive as switching to another app like email for less than a minute and you'll see a jarring switch as the app shifts back to For You tab.

It used to be that way, like last year. It's not any more.

It's like this right now on my phone.

This is probably boosting metrics so removing it would put them in the sights of management whether it's intentional, or not.

It does default to “For you” when I change between accounts in the same app.

It remembers what mode you choose. But when they changes something it reverts you to "For you".
