Soon, Twitter will allow sharing the authorship of the tweets with other users. This is revealed by the most recent discoveries of the famous leaker, Alessandro Paluzzi, who has published screenshots of this new feature.
And although the feature has not yet been announced by the social network, its release date could be closer than ever.
Based on the screenshots, users will be able to invite other accounts (either individuals or brands) to co-author a tweet. The process seems quite simple, although it still requires certain parameters to be met.
How collaborative tweets would work
The first step in sharing the authorship of a tweet on Twitter would be to send a collaboration request on another profile; this can be done directly from a visible button when it is created. Once the contributor accepts the request, the post can be submitted, which will show who is the co-author of the publication.
It is important to note that you can only collaborate with people or brands whose accounts are public and who follow the inviting user. Once the collaborative tweet is published, Twitter will show it to both the main creator's followers and the co-author's followers.
What is not yet clear is whether at the launch of this option it will be available to all users or will be limited to those who pay for the Twitter Blue service.
So far, Paluzzi has been able to trace signals of co-authored tweets since last December, suggesting that its full release may be imminent.
It should be remembered that the concept of shared posts being developed by Twitter is not exactly new in the field of social media.
Last year Instagram introduced a similar option that allows two accounts to share the copyright of a photo, video, or story. As such, content is displayed on both profiles and the number of likes and comments shared.
Twitter would implement other news before the launch of collaborative tweets
Co-authoring tweets is said to be one of the many features that Twitter plans to launch this year. The social network has been working on the rollout of new features for several months, such as the ability to individually tag tweets with sensitive content.
The platform also expanded the reach of the Dislike button and implemented better tools for automatic account identification (bots).
Likewise, Twitter has added the ability to share Spaces recordings; and we must not forget the ability to create and share GIFs from iOS.
However, not all the changes made by Twitter are positive. Not long ago, the social network relaunched a controversial novelty about the modification to the timeline chronology, receiving strong criticism from users.
And looking ahead, the service is also gearing up for Flock, an Instagram-style “best friends” feature.
It is therefore evident that the T witter development team is working tirelessly to implement new features that will gradually gain their place on the platform; it will only be a matter of seeing when there is more official news about the authorship of your tweets with other users.
