When you sign in to your account, you find a huge number of tweets published by your followers and favourite personalities. Twitter usually shows you the tweets of people with whom you stay engaged regularly. In this situation, you miss a lot of interesting tweets on Twitter.

Mute Filters

It’s another amazing feature that everyone likes to have in their Twitter account but Twitter hasn’t yet introduced this feature for the users. Fortunately, Tweetbot has introduced this feature to give you the freedom to filter out the profiles, hashtags, and keywords that you are not interested in.

Tweetbot Notifications

Once you’ve applied the filter, you won’t see tweets from that particular user anymore. You can even set the time limit for hiding those tweets from your profile.
