Like many other apps, Twitter has grown and evolved significantly over the years, offering users a wealth of settings that can be configured to help them control everything. Manually navigating through the “Settings & privacy” section of the app to find a specific setting can be a frustrating experience, but there’s now a new option.
Just as Microsoft did with Windows 11, Apple did with macOS, Google did with Chrome, and other developers did with their own software, Twitter eventually decided to implement a search option for settings.
The real surprise here is that such a simple and obvious idea took a long time to come to fruition. This change addresses an issue many people face: Knowing that they want to change a setting, but not knowing which section to look for to find the setting…
With this latest update, when you visit the “Privacy & settings” section of the Twitter app, you’ll see it at the top of the screen. You will see a search bar. Type a keyword in this “Search settings” bar and you’ll be presented with a list of matching settings that you can jump to with a quick tap.
Twitter shared the news about the new search feature with a tweet from its Twitter Safety account.
Reactions to the tweet were generally positive, and it’s hardly surprising considering how much it can help speed up the process of customizing, personalizing and securing a Twitter account.
New search functionality is gradually rolling out to all versions of the Twitter app, so check for updates. If you don’t see the option yet, you may have to wait a bit…
