Twitter is rolling out unmentioning to all users

Unmentioning is a new feature that will allow you to remove yourself from a conversation that includes your account on the micro-messaging service. The feature was introduced to a small group of users in April.

If you're stuck in a toxic conversation or don't want to receive notifications for a thread you're a part of, you may want to use this feature yourself. Unmentioning your usernames stops notifications for the thread, and prevents anyone in the thread from tagging you again.

Sometimes you want to see yourself out.

After updating the app, I was given the chance to try out the feature for myself. You can unmention yourself if you tap the three dots at the top-right corner of the screen. This is where you can leave the conversation.

Even though Musk is trying to back out of the acquisition, the platform will still make new changes. A new long-form Notes feature for users tired of the 280-character limit is one of the things that is currently being tested.
