While picked of us are go-go that we can mute conversations or other accounts on Twitter, it wasn't until I saw this world-beater twitter by @nonprofWHIT that I realized you could conjointly mute a specific word. As well as you can do it straightaway from a twitter -- as continued as you're utilizing the iPhone's Twitter app:

If you're utilizing the Twitter app on an iPhone, it's a quick-and-easy process:

• Long-press on the chat you want to mute.
• Choose "Mute" from the pop-up menu.
• You'll be beatific to a folio area you can schlep from area you want to mute the chat (your timeline or notifications), from whom (anyone or bodies you don't follow), as well as the continuance (forever, 24 hours, seven days, or 30 days).

If you've got an Android phone, don't despair. You can conjointly mute words from the Android Twitter app (or, for that matter, from the iOS Twitter app) through the app's settings. It's not quite as fast as doing it hereupon from a tweet, except it's nonbelligerent as effective.

• Select the notifications tab (the chirp icon on the foot of the screen).
• Tap the gear icon on the top right corner.
• On an Android phone, tap "Muted words." On an iPhone, tap "Muted" > "Muted words."
• On the "Muted words" screen, tap the runnerup sign as well as enter the chat you want to mute. You again get the same choices as to where, from whom, as well as duration.
