Over the period, we have witnessed the massive growth of social media. It has become part of over lives, whether we agree or not. It is the best tool to communicate with over friends and share our thoughts. In spite of having many advantages, social media lacks the trust of many people when it comes to safety. On the other scale, many companies have prioritized the safety of the user and working hard on it. Twitter being the perfect example, it has launched the Safety Mode feature.
Twitter’s safety mode aims to increase more privacy and safety, removing all the abusive and spam accounts. Users temporarily block the account for a week for sending uninvited replies or hateful remarks. To add this feature, you will need to Toggle Safety Mode from the Privacy and Safety menu.
In recent times, Twitter released a lot of new features in the platform. The popular ones are the pin messages on Twitter and the Safety Mode. Until now, the Safety Mode feature was available only to a small group. Twitter has announced to expand this feature at the moment in order to experiment with this feature on a wide circle. However, only English-speaking countries like Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, and the US will avail beta version of the Safety Mode feature.
