New to Twitter: Now everyone can access direct messages more easily

Intense news period for Twitter. After launching new labels for bots and downvotes, the company founded by Jack Dorsey is now launching blocked direct messages. The feature was previously only available to Twitter Blue followers, but is now open to everyone on Android, iOS, and web. The functionality does not seem to be fully implemented yet, but it should gradually be extended to all platforms. On the iOS app, for example, you can swipe a conversation aside to reveal a pin, and if you tap it, the conversation will jump to a new “Blocked conversations” section at the top of your direct messages inbox. .

This feature is a useful way to keep a handful of conversations easily accessible, even if the number is limited to just six.
