Twitter seems to be working on a lot of interesting features to enhance the user's experience. The latest feature that the micro-blogging site is reportedly working on is an “unmention” feature. As the name suggests, the feature would let users untag or leave a conversation where they have been wrongly tagged. Twitter privacy designer Dominic Camozzi provided a glimpse of the new feature that he is working on. Sharing the screenshot of the feature, Dominic wrote, “Sometimes you want to talk, and sometimes you just ... don’t. Check out these early concepts that could help control unwanted attention on Twitter. Feedback, especially at this beginning stage, is invited (and wanted)! Unmention yourself. I want to make it easier to untag yourself from a Tweet or conversation you don't want to be involved in. Just pick “Unmention yourself from this conversation” from the more info menu and the link to your profile will be removed.” So this basically means that you can remove your name from a tweet where you have been tagged. Interestingly, if somebody who you don’t follow mentions you in a tweet, you will get a notification. If you decide to unmention yourself, this will stop the person from mentioning you ever again in the future. In addition to this, you can also restrict certain accounts from mentioning you and pause your mentions for a day or a week.More Related News
