Twitter announced a new feature that also allows users to interact with their followers in a unique way. Now you can change who can reply to you after a tweet is posted.
To change who can reply, click the three-dot menu on a specific tweet. After that, search for options in the menu that appears. Either everyone can apply, and only the people you follow can reply, or only the people you mentioned in your tweet can reply. This new feature is available for iOS, Android and the web.
Here are some other features Twitter Added in 2021.
Twitter implemented a new feature called Fleets in February 2021, which mimics the story feature that can be found on both Facebook with Instagram.

In March 2021, Twitter parted ways with the popular video streaming app Periscope. On Periscope’s Medium page, they issued a statement about their resignation.
“The fact is that the Periscope application is in an unsustainable maintenance mode and has been in a state of it for some time. Over the past few years, we have seen a decline in usage and know that the cost of supporting the application will only continue to increase.” As time goes by. Both the current and previous Periscope community or Twitter have not left it in its current state. “
Twitter provides users with the option to choose whom they can reply to. Before sending a tweet, users will have three options to choose from. The user can reply to everyone, only the people the user follows, or the people the user mentions in the tweet. Suzanne Xie, director of product management, said that this change has benefited users as a whole.
“Sometimes people are more willing to talk about what is happening when they can choose who can respond,” Xie said.
Twitter will begin accepting verification applications again sometime in 2021. According to Twitter, potentially verified accounts must fall into one of the following categories: government, companies, brands and non-profit organizations, news, entertainment, sports and activists, organizers, and other influential individuals.
Finally, Twitter has cracked down on eliminating accounts that promote violence. Twitter expresses this on recent changes.
“Beautifying violent behavior may inspire others to participate in similar violent behavior. In addition, beautifying is based on people’s protected characteristics (including: race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious beliefs, age, disability, or serious illness) May incite or lead to further violence motivated by hatred and intolerance.”
