Twitter is trying to keep up with the other social networks such as Facebook and Instagram, and it does an excellent job in that regard, thanks to its stability, at least in comparison with Facebook-owned social media platforms. Now, Twitter reportedly works on a new “subscribe to conversation” feature.
That new function would give users access to updates and notifications regarding a conversation they subscribed to, without having to like or comment on that specific thread. Twitter user and app specialist Jane M. Wong identified this new feature using data mining. That function would come in a moment when Twitter focuses on updating its social network’s GUI and under the hood features to become a more competitive social media.
The stability of Twitter has been recently proven when all the Facebook-owned social media platforms experienced intermittent interruptions a few days ago, that affecting Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp at the same time. Users turned to Twitter to keep up with the news.
