The latest effort is the trial of a filter that puts potentially abusive Direct Messages out of view.
In their announcement via tweet, the company said: “Unwanted messages aren’t fun. So we’re testing a filter in your DM requests to keep those out of sight, out of mind.”
The new section can be found by going to your Messages and tapping on the existing Message Requests button that contains content from people you don’t follow.
Below any new messages, you’ll see a note saying: “Show additional messages, including those that may contain offensive content.” Finally, tap on Show to view any messages that Twitter’s filters suggest may contain offensive content or spam.
