Twitter makes harassment reporting more mobile-friendly, improves blocking feature

Twitter really wants users to feel safe when using its product, so it’s improving its harassment reporting and making its blocking feature more effective, the company announced.

The process to report abuse or harassment is becoming easier and faster, especially on mobile. It’s also easier to report inappropriate behavior towards other users. Check out the video below for the simple new steps that require only a few answers to flag an account.

Starting today we’re rolling out an improved way to flag abusive Tweets. See how it works. https://t.co/Yf6cStz0z1

As for its blocking feature, Twitter has added more protections, including that blocked accounts can no longer view your Twitter profile. There’s now also a new “Blocked accounts” page that shows you all the accounts you’ve blocked, which you can access from the settings menu on Twitter.com. The company will be adding controls and features to this page in the next few months.

For now, these new improvements are only available to a few users, but Twitter will roll them out to everyone in the coming weeks.
