How to create Twitter lists on iPhone, iPad, Mac and the web

Twitter is one of those platforms that you get comfortable with over time. And if you’ve been using it for many years, you might not pay much attention to new features or even those that can be useful. Lists is one of those features that can be quite beneficial and here we’ll show you how to create them.

How to create lists on Twitter

What are Twitter lists?

Twitter lists consist of accounts you follow. And when you access a list, you’ll only see the tweets from those accounts you add to it.

This is super handy for many situations. You can create a list of your favorite music artists, news sources, bloggers, or television personalities that you follow. Then rather than weed through your Twitter feed to see tweets from them, you can simply select the list to view them.

There’s some other cool stuff to know about lists. You can make them public or keep them private. So if you make one public, then other Twitter users can subscribe to it. And this also means that you can subscribe to lists create by others. This is a great way to stay up to date on tweets from accounts that interest you because those lists are already assembled.
