"Receiving notifications from accounts you’d like to avoid? You can filter notifications on your timeline," Twitter tweeted.

 

What is the notifications timeline?

As per the information provided on Twitter website, the notifications timeline offers a simple way to see how others on Twitter are interacting with you. From the notifications timeline, you will be able to see which of your tweets have been liked, the latest retweets (of your tweets), tweets directed to you (replies and mentions), your new List followers, as well as your new account followers.

You can view your notifications in two ways: All shows you notifications for account activity like new followers, retweets, mentions, and likes.

While, Mentions shows you notifications only for tweets that mention your username.

Can you filter the notifications you receive?

Yes. You can control what you see and who you interact with on Twitter. You have three options located in your notifications settings to filter the notifications you receive: Quality filter, muted words, and advanced filters.

Quality filter, when turned on, filters lower-quality content from your notifications. It does not filter notifications from people you follow or accounts you have recently interacted with. You have the option to turn this on or off in your notifications settings.

Mute notifications for particular words and phrases you would like to avoid seeing in your notifications with muted words. Mute notifications for accounts you would like to avoid seeing notifications from. This includes muting accounts you follow or don't know. For muted accounts you follow, replies and mentions by the muted account will still appear in your Notifications tab.

Advanced filters allow you to disable notifications from certain types of accounts you would like to avoid.
