Now you have even more control over your notifications. Mute accounts that don’t follow you, new accounts, and more. https:\/\/t.co\/UapP6DtTtY<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RcBQGx219k<\/a><\/p>\n

Last year<\/a>, Twitter launched its quality filter tool as well as an option to mute notifications and messages from people you don’t follow. Later, it began muting<\/a> conversation reply notifications from people you’ve blocked or muted, even if they @ you and began restricting<\/a> the reach of accounts deemed abusive. Earlier this year, Twitter introduced<\/a> filter settings that let users mute accounts if they had the default egg avatars or unverified email addresses or phone numbers and it began testing a feature that would grey out<\/a> profiles that might contain sensitive content. And in May, the website started siphoning<\/a> off DMs from people you don’t follow and putting them into a new “Requests” inbox.<\/p>\n

All of these changes have been introduced in order to help with Twitter’s rampant abuse issues<\/a> and it will be interesting to see if the latest changes have any effect. You can find instructions on how to implement the new mute features here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
