Twitter now shows how many people viewed your tweet |
Elon Musk, owner and CEO of Twitter, announced on Thursday that the platform will launch a new feature that will allow users to see how many tweets have been viewed, similar to YouTube by showing how many videos have been watched.
Musk tweeted, "Twitter is rolling out a view counter so you can see how many times a Tweet has been viewed! This is normal with videos.
Musk added that the feature shows that Twitter is more lively than it appears, with more than 90% of Twitter users reading without tweeting, replying or liking.
It is believed that Musk is trying to show how many users are accessing the platform with views, which is an important feature for YouTubers as it shows creators the demand for their clips, but at the same time, knowing that their tweets are not getting as many followers as they had hoped would negatively impact their views. some users.
It should be noted that Twitter already gives users access to detailed tweet analytics for each tweet they post, such as: b. Likes, retweets and quotes. You can also see the total number of impressions, defined as "The number of times this tweet was viewed on Twitter".
But now the difference is that the number of views, the number of replies, likes and retweets are displayed under each tweet for all users, not just the tweeter.
This new feature is still limited to certain users and has not been released to everyone. The Nima Owji account, which monitors the features before they're released, previously showed the feature and said it only works for tweets posted after December 15th.
