Twitter testing “block words” feature – Report
Twitter has reportedly started testing a “muted words” feature that will block certain words and phrases on the service, as determined by the user.
According to a report by The Next Web, several iOS users reported having the feature temporarily enabled on their devices. Twitter disabled it soon after it went live, stated the publication.
The feature allowed users to access the blocking settings under the Notifications menu, letting them create a list of words and phrases they do not wish to see.
The report stated that the feature will likely filter posts and not display them if they contain words a user has blacklisted.
