A few weeks ago, Elon Musk promised the future arrival of a new function for Twitter that, in a way, would allow the reach or popularity of a tweet to be measured in a somewhat contrary way to the number of “likes” or retweets of that publication. The executive, specifically, stressed that it would soon be possiblee see the number of views a tweet hasand now, this feature is starting to reach some users.
The view count on the tweets is displayed next to the number of likes, retweets, and quotes for the tweets that appear under the post, as far as you can see. The Verge and other users who already have the feature. Apparently, heThe option is only visible to the tweeter, unlike videos, where anyone can see the number of views you have.
It is, therefore, a somewhat useless feature considering that Twitter already allowed users to see the number of tweet impressions. It is possible, in fact, to review it through the analytics tool. However, it is likely that Elon Musk, when he expands the feature, will activate the possibility that anyone can see the number of views on tweets, regardless of whether it is his or not.
Twitter, on the other hand, could also include within tweets a shortcut to the follow user button. A way of speeding up the process and therefore preventing the person who is interested in that tweet from having to expressly access the account page to follow it. Musk also removed the ability to see from which device that tweet was posted; the popular “Twitter for iPhone”.
Twitter continues to work on features for Twitter Blue
Twitter, in parallel, continues to work on new features for those users who subscribe to Twitter Blue. Musk confirmed a few days ago that only those who pay the subscription will be able to take surveys that influence the future of the company. It is, curiously, a way to prevent bots or those who are against the tycoon from also voting negatively.
Twitter Blue also coming soon will have an additional subscription —and more expensive—no ads. The current subscription, which is priced at $8 per month, remember, shows a reduced number of ads compared to the free plan. Some users, however, have criticized Musk for paying to continue seeing ads, unlike on other platforms.
