Twitter’s rebranding as ‘X’ under Elon Musk’s leadership has already created a significant buzz, and now the platform plans to bring a new feature to silence replies from blocked accounts.
What Happened: Twitter’s recent rebranding as ‘X’ after Musk’s acquisition for $44 billion has left users speculating about the platform’s future. The latest development with the Twitterverse abuzz is potentially introducing a game-changing feature that can help users keep blocked users at one arm’s length.

The idea stemmed from a Twitter user’s complaint about the annoyance caused by blocked users still being able to respond to their posts.
Responding to the user’s frustration, Twitter designer Andrea Conway confirmed they were working on a solution. “Not for long,” she wrote, assuring users that the issue had been flagged and would soon be addressed.
If implemented, this new feature would grant users greater control over their interactions, ending unwanted engagement from those they have blocked. It could be a significant step toward curating a safer and more enjoyable Twitter experience for millions of users.
While specific details and the official release date remain under wraps, anticipation is building among users eager to witness the transformation that ‘X’ has in store for the social media giant.
Why It’s Important: For the unversed, the iconic blue bird logo that had symbolized Twitter for over a decade was replaced with a new emblem earlier this month.
According to Musk, the decision was not merely a superficial makeover but a strategic step toward realizing his vision for the platform.
