Twitter is testing a feature that lets users subscribe to tweet replies. This feature is in line with the company's direction of bringing conversational flow to the platform. Twitter made an announcement that it was testing the tweet replies feature. This would allow users on the platform to be notified regarding conversations they deem as highly important.
The feature would also allow users a more streamlined process to view a tweet since it is sent to them through a push notification. Users who can access the new tweet replies feature will be able to see a notification on the top portion of the screen, users can click this in order to select whether they want to subscribe to either 'top' replies, all replies, or to turn off reply notifications.
