Mute words on Twitter
Many times we need to abstract ourselves from certain topics. Whether it's because you're watching a series and you want to avoid spoilers, or you want to avoid tweets about the economy or other topics, or simply don't support writing with insults. Twitter allows us to mute words, hashtags and even users to prevent those posts from appearing on our timeline .
Twitter is in fashion and it seems that, little by little, it is adding users to its platform again. Part of the blame lies with its new functions, including the option that we are talking about today.With it we will be able to establish a filter of words and users to avoid seeing publications referring to those filters.
Don't miss out on how to do it because, as soon as you least expect it, it will come in handy to know.
How to mute words on Twitter:
To access the menu that allows us to do that action, we must be in the main menu of the app. To do this, click on the icon characterized with a house, in the lower menu of the screen. Once in it, click on the button with little stars that appears in the upper right part.

In the configuration options it allows us to adjust in which places of the app we want to silence them and the duration of the silence.
Mute user accounts on Twitter:
In one of the menus that we have shown before, the twitter accounts that we have silenced appear. But from there they cannot be silenced.
To silence a Twitter account, we must access its profile and click on the three dots that appear at the top right of the screen.

After clicking, some options will appear, including the option to silence that account.

By doing that, we will prevent tweets from that user from appearing on our timeline. The muted user won't know you're muting them.
It's a good option to not see tweets from accounts you don't want to block or unfollow.
So if you weren't aware of this feature, you can now use it and use Twitter's word filter to silence anything you don't want to see.
