Twitter unveils innovative user update: a fresh feature
Twitter's New Feature: Say Goodbye to Unwanted Mentions
Twitter is gearing up to give you more control over your digital presence by enabling users to delete mentions featuring their account tag. This tantalizing reveal comes from the tech blog, "Hack".
In the future, Twitter users will have the power to dodge unwanted attention with a feature that blocks mentions of themselves and even authorizes control over who can tag them. The mastermind behind this concept is Twitter product designer Dominic Camozzi.
Interestingly, Facebook already offers a similar tool, allowing users to disconnect their profile name from tags and prevent future mentions. It appears that Twitter is adopting this feature too.
Moreover, users might soon be able to impose a temporary ban on mentions of themselves for a specified duration.
The feature seems aimed at putting a halt to mass harassment directed at individual users, although it may not be as effective in tackling one-on-one conflicts. However, Twitter has yet to announce the release date for this update.
It's worth noting that, beyond this exciting new development, Twitter has been busy enhancing the user experience on its platform with initiatives like refining content curation and speeding up timeline refreshes. If this feature materializes, it could be part of a broader campaign to boost user control and safety on the platform.
As of now, users can already manage unwanted mentions through existing features like blocking or muting accounts. Any updates or new features related to user control over mentions would likely be announced via official Twitter announcements or media releases.
