Twitter to add an ‘unmention’ option, allowing users to remove themselves from chats

Twitter will soon allow users to remove themselves from chats they don’t want to participate in.

The social media giant announced on Thursday that it was testing an “unsubscribe” option, writing in a tweet that it would be a way for users to “preserve your peace.”

To use this feature, Twitter users will select “leave this conversation” from the drop-down menu on the tweet. A GIF accompanying Twitter’s announcement shows the person removing themselves from a chat after someone tweeted “you suck!!”

The company’s head of consumer products, Jay Sullivan, said he’s proud of the changes that have been made to make Twitter more secure.

“More to come!” he speak.

This option has been rolled out on the Web for some people.

Twitter recently experimented with other changes, announcing Tuesday that working on an editing feature.

“We will begin testing in @TwitterBlue Labs in the coming months to learn what works, what doesn’t, and what might happen,” the company said in a tweet.
