As people wouldn’t want to miss a moment of it, the platform might have taken this into consideration and put them on top. Although, they are a bit late (let alone original) on doing so, as the similar feature has been available on Instagram since a while.

Twitter mentioned they would also include audio-only live broadcasts in live streams and the feature will be available on both Android and iOS versions.

With constantly rolling out new & innovative features, they have also rolled out the one that got away.
