MANILA, Philippines – Twitter is giving everyone more tools to combat harassment and other low-quality content on their personal feeds.

The company announced on Friday, August 19, it was providing users with additional settings to limit what notifications and content types they see on Twitter.

Two simple settings to give you better control over your Twitter experience. https://t.co/pEJuMUhCYs pic.twitter.com/jmFd0rDoV6

The first tweak has to do with what notifications a user gets. “Starting today,” Twitter wrote, “everyone will have the ability to limit notifications to only people they follow on mobile and on twitter.com.”

Twitter’s notifications will also be receiving a filter setting, which can improve the quality of the tweets users based on “a variety of signals, such as account origin and behavior.”

Turning on the filter will allow Twitter to automatically determine what a user might see as lower-quality content. These include “duplicate Tweets or content that appears to be automated, from your notifications and other parts of your Twitter experience.”

The filter will not affect content from people a user follows or accounts a user has recently interacted with. This can be toggled in the notifications settings.

These two features are not new, however. They were previously generally available only to high-profile accounts, such as celebrities and verified accounts. – Rappler.com
