Twitter will soon let you control who can mention you in tweets

Twitter is working on a new feature that will allow users to control who can mention them in their own tweets or on comments on other tweets. The feature was first spotted by app researcher Jane Manchun Wong, who has also given us a glimpse into other Twitter features ahead of their release in the past.

With the new feature users will be able to choose if anyone can mention them in tweets or if only followers can. This comes in addition to the setting that allows users to completely block out others users from mentioning them in their tweets. The feature will come as a toggle in the Twitter settings and will appear as seen in the tweet below.
