Two new features are now on Twitter | Photo Credit: APmore-inTo make the most relevant replies appear on the top of a tweet thread, Twitter has added a “reply counter” and a “conversation ranking” to its mobile app. The two features will not change the way users use Twitter but they will not be able to read the replies in a chronological order, ENGADGET reported on Wednesday. With the “Conversation ranking” feature, those threads which the original poster replies to will appear on the top. So that a user may understand the context of a conversation, this feature of Twitter will group the replies into sub-conversations based on their context. “The new direct ‘reply counter’ is exactly what it sounds like: the reply button under any given tweet will now show how many users have directly replied to that tweet,” the report noted.
