The New Twitter ‘Unmention’ Feature: Tips On How To Untag Oneself From A Tweet

Twitter—has quietly added a safety tool called “Unmention” (or “Leave this conversation” in the latest UI). The feature lets you slip out of any tweet that’s drawing unwanted attention or linking you to a topic you’d rather avoid. Once you use it—on the web, iOS, Android or any other X-compatible client—your @handle is converted to plain text, notifications from that thread stop immediately, and no-one in the conversation can tag you again.

The company says the rollout is part of a broader push to curb harassment and give users granular control over who can reach them. In practice, Unmention works exactly like an untag button: you tap the ⋯ (three-dot) menu, choose Leave this conversation, confirm, and you’re out—no further pings, no fresh mentions, just peace of mind.

We are now going to give steps on how to use the Unmention feature below.

Here are the few steps users must follow to remove themselves from a conversation they found inappropriate or do not  want to be  associated with.

  • User should identify the tweet they want to untag themselves from and tap the 3-dot menu there. 

It is done as shown in the picture below:

  • It would then show “Leave this conversation” option, the user should click on that as shown below.

  • The next step after that is for the user to confirm he/she wants to leave the conversation. The user will then be untagged from all the tweets in that thread or conversation.

It should be noted that the username of the mentioned user who got untagged will remain in the original tweet as a text but the person will be untagged from the original tweet and all replies.  What this implies is that  though the username on the mentioned user  on the initial tweet stays, even after using the ‘Unmention’ feature, it would not highlight to enable other users tap on it to view their profile, and users will not be able to mention the tagged person their future responses to that tweet. 

Note: The ‘Mute’ feature shown in the images above is different from the ‘Unmention’ feature as the former only makes sure the user stops getting notifications from that Tweet conversation he or she was mentioned in, but the latter not only stops the notifications from the tweet but untags the user’s account from the conversation completely. Users can also still tag the mentioned person who used the ‘Mute’ feature unlike the ‘Unmention’ feature where they can’t be tagged anymore.
