Twitter’s New Mute Function Helps You Shut Up Rants By Friends
If you are active on Twitter, sometime or the other you would have wished to remove all the irritating and endless tweets from your timeline without having to un-follow someone. The only problem was that, the person did this on certain occasions and un-following them was not an option since they would know about it. Now though things are about to change with Twitter’s new ‘Mute’ feature. If you find your friend’s tweets irritating then all you have to do is select ‘More’ option on one of their tweets or head over to their page on web, Android or iOS app and select the ‘Mute’ option.
The best thing about ‘Mute’ is that Twitter does not tell the other person that you have muted him/her and you can undo it at any time. Once you ‘Mute’ a user you will no longer receive SMS or push notifications from that user. The muted user will be able to view, favorite, reply and retweet your tweets but you will not be able to see that activity on your timeline. The feature is being rolled out to users gradually. Until you receive the update, you can take a few hints from members on our forum on How to stop tweets appearing on timeline without unfollowing on Twitter?. If you have received this update, try it out and let us know.
