Twitter is rolling out a new feature where you can mute a person you’re following. Instead of unfollowing someone altogether, you can now mute them and spare their feelings.
Muting someone gets rid of all their tweets, retweets, and push notifications from appearing. They can still interact with your tweets but you won’t see notifications of this activity. Muted users can still send you direct messages since you’re still following each other.
The mute function is rolling out in the coming weeks to the Android and iOS apps as well as Twitter.com. To mute someone, tap on the “more” button and then “Mute @username.” You will be able to do the same on a person’s profile page.
