Twitter Tries Out “Mute” Feature for Irritating Tweets

Are you on Twitter? – it is a serious question, some people aren’t.

There’s a new feature, the social media site is trying out and we are sure a lot of you may like it.

Do you follow someone who constantly chats about her baby, or a friend who can’t stop tweeting about living life large? Well you can stop it…for a while.

Twitter is testing a feature in its mobile apps that allows users to mute accounts that are becoming irritating. Unlike the block feature which helps to stop interactions with users completely, muting is temporary.

It just means you can block out people for sometime. The new feature has come at a time when Twitter aims to increase the amount of time existing users spend on the service.
