Twitter is extending the ability to let s decide who can reply to their tweets even after they have been published on the social media platform. Twitter s already had the ability to limit replies on their tweets, but the choice had to be made before a tweet was published. s can limit the replies to only s they follow, s mentioned in the tweet, or keep it open for everyone — the last one is the default setting for each tweet. The new setting will be rolled out for Twitter for Android, iOS, and Web.

Through a tweet, introduced the option to choose who can reply to a tweet last year. But, as mentioned, it had to be done while composing a tweet. Now s can change this setting even after a tweet has been published by clicking on the three-dots menu on a tweet and selecting the Change who can reply option. That will lead s to three options — Everyone, People you follow, and Only people you mentioned.

The new feature gives people more control over who can reply to their tweets. The ability to change who can interact with the tweet can help Twitter s keep away from potential harassment and trolling. Twitter hasn't said when the update will roll out for all s, but it seems that the rollout process has begun. Gadgets 360 was independently able to the new feature. If you don't see the new feature yet, it is likely to reach your soon.

Twitter s can select between — 'Everyone', 'People you follow', and 'Only people you mentioned'

Twitter has also Instagram's 'Close Friends' feature that lets s share stories with selected followers. Twitter is working on another feature called "Facets" that will help them categorise their tweets after they are published. "Facets" will let s publish multiple tweets under different handles from one . Currently, s who wish to publish the same tweet from multiple handles have to switch s and then post again.
