Twitter is very transparent about some concepts considered behind closed doors, the latest batch that rotates around privacy problems. Although no concepts are features (not yet), they reveal the type of Twitter perspective is taking when approaching this topic, including the best way it can accommodate various user needs. 

The newly revealed concept came from Lena Emara’s Twitter designer who explained the potential for use of cases for each idea. Emara noted that while privacy is an important aspect of the platform for all Twitter users, different people have different needs. This is a “very early concept” at this time and Emara noted they were not built today.

Some concepts are presented, including simple reminders for your times protected by your account, a simplified account switching that makes it easier to see which account you tweeted from, the check-in feature that groups various privacy options to ‘set,’ and capabilities To see when someone looks for your username and to remove the invention option.

One image concept shows how potential features can be used to limit abuse on the platform. For example, users will (assuming the concept that has come true) Get a warning when Twitter locks the account that has searched for the user handle. Prompt will include the option to limit negative interactions by turning off the ability to find your account in searching or to prevent your account from appearing under “who to follow.”

In the end, every idea is just that – an idea that is not in the pipe to be the actual Twitter feature today. However, public feedback related to these concepts can help shape it from time to time, guiding the launch of similar features that will enhance the experience for everyone.
