“#Twitter<\/a> should build this feature to prevent accidental tweets from your company account<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen plenty of instances when a social media handle of a company has tweeted something that seems like a response from a personal account. It\u2019s human to err, and forget to switch accounts when tweeting.<\/p>\n

A concept from Lena Emara, a product designer at Twitter, will hopefully prevent you from doing this. Here\u2019s how it works: when you\u2019re tweeting, the app<\/a> will show you the account the tweet will go out from, on the top of the composition window.<\/p>\n

So just in case, you\u2019re tweeting something personal from a brand\u2019s account, you can notice it straight away and\u00a0make changes accordingly. Scroll to the \u2018Account breadcrumbs\u2019 part of Emara\u2019s tweet below for a closer look at her concept.<\/span><\/p>\n

Account breadcrumbs<\/p>\n

Have multiple accounts? I want to make it simpler for you to know which account you\u2019re Tweeting from.<\/p>\n

Switching accounts today is doable but not obvious. This makes it clearer and puts your avatar, name, handle, and privacy status all in one visible place. pic.twitter.com\/GjatDtMG0q<\/a><\/p>\n

Apart from this, Emara showed off other concepts related to privacy as well. The first described how you can limit who can see your tweets, who can tag you in photos, and who can direct message you. Notably, one of the company\u2019s designers recently demoed another concept that lets you tweet to a close circle of friends.<\/p>\n

Discover me (or not)<\/p>\n

Right now, you can control how others find you using your phone or email. This concept lets you:<\/p>\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 Get notified if accounts search for your username
2\ufe0f\u20e3 Choose if you want to be found that way
3\ufe0f\u20e3 Set a time limit for it<\/p>\n

The second concept was about limiting discoverability, where you can turn off toggles for a certain time\u00a0that makes your profile disappear from search and \u2018Who to follow\u2019 recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are some handy concepts, but there\u2019s no guarantee Twitter will put its resources to work to develop them. Lately, the company has been tweeting out theseconcepts to gather feedback about how it can improve conversation on the platform.<\/p>\n
