Twitter now lets you change who can reply to your tweets

Over the past year, Twitter has introduced a few changes that have made it easier to choose how to respond to tweets. and to manage who can reply to your tweets. Now it adds a new feature that lets you make sure your answer section is clean and user-friendly. The social network now allows you to change who can reply to your tweets even after having already sent them. All you have to do is hit the ellipsis button in the top right corner of your post and choose the option that says “Change who can reply”.

In August of last year, the company withdrew its response limiting feature from the experimental phase and made all uses available. This deployment gave you the flexibility to choose who can reply to you – everyone, people you follow or people you mention – before sending your tweet. This addition gives you even more control over the discussion going on in your answers section.

The new feature is likely part of the platform’s efforts to “improve the health of the public conversation,” which Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey previously said is his company’s singular focus. As you can guess, the ability to choose who can respond to you has been controversial among some users, but it could also limit the toxic behaviors you encounter on the platform.
