Twitter might be finding an effective way for users who want to untag themselves on a very long thread.

Apparently, the social media platform could finally introduce the "leave this conversation" feature for those who want to have peace of mind.

Twitter appears to be testing a new feature that will allow you to untag yourselves from discussion threads. The "leave this conversation" feature might be the solution for that.

There comes a time when your friend will suddenly tag you in a discussion that you don't have an idea about. While this is fine for some users, other people could find this annoying to deal with.

At some point, it could spark embarrassment in the individual. Luckily, Twitter appears to have a clear solution for this issue. As spotted by XDA Developers via Jane Manchun Wong's tweet, the company could be working to launch it soon.

Based on her screenshot, the "leave this conversation" feature will allow you to untag your username out of the discussion thread. It could be a perfect way to avoid being mentioned in an unnecessary tweet that is out of your interest.

Currently, there's a way for you to stop receiving notifications on the thread. If you are tagged by someone on Twitter, you could click "mute this conversation." This would instantly toggle off all of the notifications that you can receive from a particular post.

Mentioned Link Will Be a Plain Text

Besides its interesting capability to allow users to escape a discussion forum, the "leave this conversation" feature will transform the hyperlinked text into just plain text in a tweet where you are mentioned.

When The Verge reached out to Twitter, the company declined to speak if it's already working on the said feature. Despite that, it's pretty clear that the platform wants to be more user-friendly judging from its previous features.

Previous Twitter Features

For instance, Twitter deployed changes for options such as "soft blocking" a person who bugs you, as well as imposing reply limits and notifications.

Since there's no confirmation if the social media giant is already testing it or not, we might as well wait for future updates. It's possible that it will first let beta testers use it before rolling it out to the public.

Back in November, Tech Times reported that Twitter surprisingly removed its auto-cropping algorithm in its most recent update at that time. Now, users will be able to view photos in bigger sizes and better quality on their timelines.

For the latest report, the microblogging site suspended hundreds of fake Chinese accounts which were discovered to be spamming and manipulating posts across cyberspace. Apparently, it was also spotted that multiple accounts appeared to be backing up China's propaganda.

For now, the accounts were still under investigation by the social media site.
