In an effort to give users more control over their Tweet conversations on the platform, Twitter has made its response limitation feature available to all users. In a nutshell, the new feature allows Twitter users to decide who can reply to their tweets. However, users who cannot reply to a tweet will still be able to view, retweet, retweet with a comment, share, and like the tweet. Obviously the idea, which has been going on for a few months now, is to keep the spam, slander and abuse that is a concern on the platform in check. “People who are being abused find these settings helpful; those who have submitted abuse reports are 3 times more likely to use these settings,” Suzanne Xie, director of product management at Twitter, wrote in an article. blog, even though she said it was being tested. since last May. As she points out, people who are being abused find this setting useful: those who have submitted abuse reports are 3 times more likely to use this setting. Here's how to control who replies to your Tweets with Twitter's new conversation settings:

In Twitter's own words, this is how it works. Before you tweet, choose who can reply with three options: 1) everyone (Twitter's default and standard settings) 2) only people you follow or 3) only people you mention. Tweets with the last two parameters will be tagged and the reply icon will be grayed out for people who can't reply. People who can't reply will still be able to view, retweet, retweet with a comment, share, and like those tweets.

How to choose: who you can answer to
Twitter is also working on additional enhancements to the new setting, including the ability to invite people to join the conversation after it's launched, which could allow users to develop engaging discussions over time, without having to start. a new discussion thread. And here's how to do it: From the compose screen, you can see the people in the conversation that you'll be replying to. Click or tap Reply to... to display an editing screen with a list of everyone in the conversation. Up to 50 people participating in the conversation will be displayed. 1) To add people to a conversation: Swipe down to close the editing screen, then enter their username in your Tweet. 2) To remove people from a conversation: To remove people from the conversation on the edit screen, simply click or tap the checkmark icon to deselect the participants. Once someone is unselected, the checkmark icon will be unchecked. 3) Blocked Accounts: Accounts that you have blocked will be visible to you in the recipient list and will indicate that you have blocked them. From the editing screen, you can choose to remove the blocked account from the conversation by clicking or tapping on the check mark icon.
How to see the participants in a conversation
You can also see the participants in a conversation from the Tweets you see on your home timeline, profile page, notifications, or Tweet details. To display the names, bio, and @names of the participants: 1) Click or tap Reply To... 2) From here you can see everyone included in this reply. You can also follow or unfollow people on this list. Just like you can see the total number of likes and retweets for a Tweet, you can also see how many people are in the conversation by the number of replies. You'll see a number next to the reply icon indicating the number of direct replies received by the original Tweet.
Unfold the madness
Driven by the market, Twitter is testing a variety of changes. After Fleets, there was another feature that invited users to read the story before retweeting it. It was then said that Twitter was testing a feature that allowed users to reply with emojis in the regular timeline. So these are the audio tweets for iOS users. Twitter also rolled out a new list search option for all users to help them discover new lists and add them to their feed. Furthermore, after the launch of a number of new features, the popular social networking service has embarked on the project of launching a subscription platform that can enable special features for paid users. Looking ahead, Twitter announced that it will be releasing a new version of its Developer API that was built from the ground up and will include many missing features. Twitter is also testing a new splash screen. In the midst of all this, Twitter is also caught in a huge hacking mess.
