<p dir="ltr" lang="en">We&#8217;ve given conversations a makeover on iOS. When people you follow are in a conversation, you&#8217;ll see their replies in a new way in your Home timeline.</p>
<p>This new layout makes it easier to see who&#8217;s replying to who so you can join in on relevant conversations. <a href="https://t.co/xNmnAtQFeI">pic.twitter.com/xNmnAtQFeI</a></p>

<p>A line will connect your parent tweet with theirs, so you know they&#8217;re responding to you in particular, and their tweets will also be slightly indented. Twitter <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/11/28/twitter-testing-nested-conversations/">started testing the visual tweak in its &#8220;Twttr&#8221; beta program last year</a>, but now it&#8217;s apparently ready for the big time.</p>
<p>  As Twitter said in its announcements, the &#8220;new layout makes it easier to see who&#8217;s replying to who.&#8221; While the feature is only making its way to iOS devices right now, it won&#8217;t be exclusively available to iPhone users. When asked why the feature was only launching for Apple&#8217;s mobile platform, the company <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/1223387668798676993">replied</a> that the new layout &#8220;will come to Android soon.&#8221;</p>

<p>Speaking to <em><a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/alexkantrowitz/twitter-is-trying-to-fix-the-dunk-and-ratio">BuzzFeed News</a></em>, Twitter&#8217;s senior director of product management David Gasca explained the small changes afoot. Firstly, Twitter will add an emoji to a retweet, allowing users to quote-tweet without using the compose field. This, he says, could help put an end to mindless retweeting and give users pause for thought before taking part in a dunk-on.</p>
<p>Secondly, Twitter will automatically suggest people use an <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/02/05/unicode-emoji-for-2019/">emoji</a> in their replies &#8212; heart eyes, for example &#8212; but if you choose a negative emoji, Twitter will ask, &#8220;Why do you disagree?&#8221; Hopefully, Gasca says, this will encourage considered debate, rather than an out-and-out flame war.</p>

<p></center></p>
<p>The proposed experiments follow a number of other initiatives designed to bring more balance to the platform. Last week the company announced it was <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/alexkantrowitz/twitter-is-trying-to-fix-the-dunk-and-ratio">banning political ads</a> (with some exceptions) while Twitter research VP Dantley Davis hinted at a number of features that could arrive next year, including more controls over retweets and removing mentions. Gasca added that the company has &#8220;big ambitions&#8221; for 2020, noting that, &#8220;We&#8217;re definitely serious about changing how conversations happen on Twitter.&#8221;</p>
