Ever since the inception of Twitter, millions of its users are posting tweets all over the world. It’s a fun and simple way to share your thoughts and activities with your friends. Along with this, you can also mute a Twitter conversation if you don’t want to see the conversations in a particular tweet.
Twitter has introduced the Muted Conversations feature that helps you mute entire conversations in a tweet. If you would like to stop receiving notifications for a particular conversation, you can select to mute it. Once you’ve muted a conversation, you won’t get any new notifications about that conversation.
It’s really useful when you find yourself caught up in a long back and forth conversation that you’re not interested in following. However, remember that this mute feature works only for Twitter threads and not for hashtags.
In this article, we’ll tell you how to mute a Twitter conversation on Mobile and Web. Let’s have a quick look.
