Twitter unveils features to filter tweets

Twitter has unveiled new features to filter tweets and notifications.

Twitter has announced two new settings that will allow users to control what they see in their feeds and what notifications they receive.

Twitter says in a blog post that it has modified its notification settings to include the ability to see only notifications from people they follow.

It's also introducing what it calls a "quality filter" that it says can improve the quality of tweets users see.

Twitter says the feature will filter out duplicate tweets or content that appears to be automated.

The announcement from San Francisco-based Twitter comes a month after Saturday Night Live and Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones publicly called on Twitter to do more to curb harassment on the platform.

Twitter banned one user in response to the incident.
