There used to be a "block" function to expel an eyesore person from Twitter's timeline so far, but since blocking is blocked and follow-up (RT) can not be stopped when looking at the opponent's line of sight, There was a drawback that it would be called "What did it do?" As a function to solve this difficulty newly "mute"Was introduced.

Actually try out the mute function on the desktop version of Twitter. This is the timeline of the desktop version.

I also tried the mute function on Twitter on the iOS version. Tap the icon of the person you want to mute.
