American micro-blogging and social networking service Twitter has recently announced that it will begin testing a new ‘vibe check’ feature.
Twitter rolled out a limited test on Wednesday to iOS and Android users, ANI reported from Washington.
The new feature prompts one example which is provided by the company, will appear below certain tweets and warn any user considering diving into the replies.
“Ever want to know the vibe of a conversation before you join in? We’re testing prompts on Android and iOS that give you a heads up if the convo you’re about to enter could get heated or intense,” the company said in a blogpost.
The prompts appear like ‘Heads up’, ‘Conversation like this can be intense’, as per the examples provided by the micro-blogging site.
The test comes as the latest effort from Twitter in a long line of tweaks aimed at improving ‘conversational health’ that is healthy conversations on the platform.
It follows various Twitter conversation health initiatives, some deemed more successful than others, such as the ability to limit replies, so-called humanization prompts, and quote-tweet prompts.
The company told ANI that the example it provided is the only one currently being tested and that while the experiment is small, there will be more (presumably) like it.
