Now on Twitter, you can change who can reply to a Tweet after it is posted

With the original update, Twitter allowed users to choose who can reply to their tweets – “everyone”, “people you follow” or “only people you mention” – in the process of. creation of tweets.

The problem with this is that sometimes you might want to retroactively update your audience, perhaps because of hate in your responses or unintentional controversy with your original comment.

In such cases, you can just hit delete. But Twitter has now added a new consideration to the mix, with retroactive audience control options.

This means that you can limit or update who is allowed to reply to any of your Tweets at any time, even after the Tweet has been posted.

There can be different use cases for this. Maybe your Tweet leads to abusive or argumentative responses and you don’t have time for it, or you realize that your comment was more of a statement than part of a conversation, and you’d rather turn off the answers.

Removing the asset is always an option. But sometimes you want to stick with one comment without having to deal with different opinions.

The new feature is meant to be helpful in combating harassment. It’s available worldwide on iOS, Android, and the web.

To change who can respond, click or tap the three-dot menu in a Tweet and look for the option in the menu that appears.

And you can do it so that everyone can respond. Or only the people you follow can respond. Or only the people you mentioned in your Tweet can respond.
