Twitter lets you pin DMs and test downvote button

Twitter will now allow users to pin DMs in Twitter at the top. This way you can find your most important Twitter conversations at a glance. In addition, Twitter is testing a downvote button with some of its users, which you can use to indicate that a comment in a thread is irrelevant.

Pin Twitter DMs

Anyone who often sends messages via Twitter to a number of regular contacts will be very happy with Twitters Last function† Once you open the private messages section, you will be greeted with a notification that you can now pin DMs.

You do this simply by long-pressing a conversation and then choosing Pin conversation. You can pin up to six conversations. The feature is now rolling out to Android, iOS and the web version of Twitter. It is not the first time that Twitter has allowed pinning from DMs, as it has already worked for subscribers of its paid Blue subscription.

Downvote comments

In addition, many more things are under development. More and more users report seeing a downvote button in the comments. With that button you can mark less relevant things so that they get a lower place in a thread. The button is only visible for comments and not for tweets themselves. You also don’t get to see how many downvotes a particular comment has received. In October of 2021, it was already announced that the downvote in Twitter is coming.

The downvote feature is featured on some of our accounts, but it’s just a test of the feature right now. Earlier it was announced that Twitter is also testing a feature called ‘Articles’, or the ability to write longer tweets. The Articles were only discovered in Twitter’s code and the feature is not accessible to users. The pinned DMs, on the other hand, can already be tested in the app.
