Twitter tests feature that warns when conversations may get heated
Twitter has detailed a number of experimental features and tests during the summer, and it seems that the plan is slowing in the near future. This time, the company revealed that it was testing the confirmation that would appear for cellular users when they faced a conversation that “can be heated or intense.”
The feature test is revealed on the Twitter support account, where the company explains that currently “is in process.” The prompt is quite simple: this appears as a light blue banner above the reply to the tweet, stating, “Head: conversations like this can be intense.”
Prompt pop-up reveals additional details, including to “remember humans” on the other side of the screen, and to check the facts and keep the mind open about other user perspectives about a problem. Users who want to continue with the conversation can tap the “count me in” button to continue.
This feature may be proven to be useful for users who want to enjoy the platform but avoid controversial conversations that are famous are often found on it. This can help users who, for example, have mental health problems avoiding conversations that can increase their anger or anxiety.
The new prompt will be seen by users on iOS and Android; It is not clear how many people will see the test. As with experimental features, it is likely that it will change significantly before it is launched for everyone, assuming it is widely launched at all.
