Twitter Has a New 'Quality Filter' For Abuse & Bullying

Twitter added a new feature that will help you ignore trolls. This comes after their attempts (sometimes more public than others such as the deletion of well-known bullying, abusive accounts) to curb abuse and bullying on the social media service. It's offering a 'Quality Filter'. The filter is off by default, so you will need to set it up if you want to use it. Not a lot of details are out about how exactly Twitter plans to do this, but they say the filter will "improve the quality of Tweets you see by using a variety of signals, such as account origin and behavior". It should help eliminate abuse, threats, abusive language, spam, and Tweets that may be suspicious.

How To Set UP On Mobile Device
1. Select Notifications.
2. Select gear icon (settings) at top for iOS or the menu icon at bottom and then notification settings for Android.
3. Slide the filter to 'On'.
