More stories from Abigail Ellsworth
Twitter released a new app, “quality filter,” in the iOS app store the last week of March. The app works similar to a spam filter saying “threats, offensive language, and duplicate content” in your notifications. With this app you can keep things you do not want on your news feed out and getting spam messages.
This app gives users an easy way to avoid disturbing tweets and messages from spam accounts or someone who may be harassing them.
So far the filter is only available to less than 1 percent of twitter’s users. The quality filter is only available for iOS users at the moment, but is being fixed so more tweeters can access it if they choose.
The filter is in need some fix ups, but may finally change the twitter abusers and spams. Even though it is only available to a few people , twitter CEO is trying to fix the problem and getting the twitter abusers and spams under control.
