Twitter Will Allow Users To Control Who Can Tag Them In Tweets
Twitter is working on a new feature that will allow users to control who can mention them in their tweets, not letting anyone tag or mention your Twitter handle with their posts unless you want them to. The feature, when it arrives, will make a fundamental shift in how people mention and tag others with their posts on the platform.
App researcher Jane Manchun Wong first spotted the test version of the feature, saying, "Twitter is working on letting you control who can mention you on Twitter."
Twitter privacy designer Dominic Camozzi confirmed that the feature is in the works but later deleted the tweet.
The feature will let you control who can mention you, like people you follow, everyone, or no one at all.
The feature will prevent Twitter users from bullying or harassment.
Twitter Circle, which allows people to choose who can see and engage with their tweets on a Tweet-by-Tweet basis, was launched in August.
You can now share your Tweet either with your circle or your entire following before you post on Twitter. Circles can contain up to 150 people, and you can adjust who's in and out at any time.
