The Twitter team once again shared a series of concepts they are analyzing to improve the user experience on the platform.
This time they focused on some common problems that Twitter users have when managing their accounts or interacting with their followers.
For example, one of the situations being contemplated is the one that often occurs when replying from a protected Twitter account. While we can interact normally with people we follow or have approved to follow our account, any reply given to another user remains hidden.
A detail that not everyone is aware of and that can cause misunderstandings among users. To avoid this problem, Twitter is considering the possibility of activating an automatic reminder that allows the user to change their account settings to public so that the reply is visible.
Twitter evaluates new options for managing accounts
Another feature being analyzed is aimed at users who manage different Twitter accounts. To make it simpler for them to switch from one account to another, or to know which account they are tweeting from, they propose a small change, as you can see in the image.
The idea is that users will see in one place all their available accounts, and each one with its avatar, username, privacy level, etc. And on the other hand, they are also considering a new dynamic that could limit harassment on the platform.
For example, the user could specify that they do not want their account to be found through the Twitter search engine, or not to be included in the “Who to follow” suggestions. Configuration options can be permanent or not, as this concept proposes that the user can set a certain period.
And to reinforce this dynamic, Twitter could also send alerts when it detects that they are receiving “negative attention” so that the user can take action on their account settings.
