If you've ever got lost trying to keep up with a fast-moving conversation on Twitter, this update is for you.

Twitter announced changes on Monday to how conversations will appear on the social media platform.

Recognizing that real-time conversations sparked by a single Tweet can often be hard to follow, Twitter has decided to group related conversations under the original Tweet, and also highlight notable exchanges.

It will prioritize certain online discussions, taking into account factors such as whether the original Twitter account replied. There's also a "view other replies" button if you want to see more from the Tweet storm.

From Monday, users of the Twitter website should be able to see Tweets that are part of one conversation joined by a line on a Tweet page.

In a statement on its blog, Twitter said there may well be room for improvement to its new conversations feature. "We will continually be iterating and improving on this experience to make it easier to understand and participate in conversations on Twitter," the company wrote.

The update will be rolling out to Twitter's mobile apps shortly.
