Twitter users may still be adjusting to the site’s new hearts, but the company is offering some relief to frustrated users who have been upset about another recent update.
The social network said Friday it would finally start to limit how often the blue dot notification appeared in the Moments tab within the Twitter app. It’s not clear how much less often users should expect to see the rage-inducing dot, but it will likely be welcome news to many users.
A quick recap: Last month Twitter introduced Moments, a new section of its app that surfaces curated collections of tweets around specific news stories, events and other conversations happening on Twitter. The much-hyped feature was one of the company’s biggest updates in years but all anyone could focus on was the blue dot that wouldn’t go away.
For once, Twitter, it seems, was listening. In a tweet Friday, the company said they would change the feature so the notification would appear “less frequently,” though they didn’t elaborate on how often it would appear.
While many users are relieved, some took the opportunity to complain about the other feature everyone seems to hate: the new favorites.
While it seems unlikely Twitter would reverse course on the despised heart, this change, at least, proves that Twitter is (sometimes) listening. Maybe there’s still hope for that star.
