Twitter defines the “unmention” feature as the ability to withdraw from an unwanted conversation on the platform. When used, the user’s Twitter thread is unlinked so they are no longer tagged in future tweets. While this doesn’t prevent others from continuing the conversation, it at least makes sure that the person’s replies and notifications don’t appear.
Twitter has been working on this feature for over a year. He first introduced it last summer, saying it’s aimed at preventing the “unwanted attention” that can often lead to harassment. It began testing in April. However, testing was limited to only a small group of users on the web.
And now, with the new update, anyone will be able to remove themselves from a thread, regardless of whether they are using Twitter’s apps or website. Twitter has officially launched the umnetion feature. This is sure to be pretty good news for many users; because it means that there is now a solution for users who are tagged in topics they do not want.
