According to reports, Twitter is testing a new feature that would allow two users to collaborate on a single tweet.
The information comes from TechCrunch, which claims that the ‘Collaborations’ feature has not yet been made public. Only once one user accepts a request to collaborate with another does the feature work.
It will also act as a platform for creators to collaborate with businesses on brand ad arrangements.
In December 2021, app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi was the first to discover the functionality in the app’s code. Paluzzi also noticed that the tweet composer screen now has a collaboration button. He also tweeted that Twitter is working on Collabs feature.
Only public accounts that follow a user can co-author a tweet, according to Paluzzi. Once a joint tweet is published, it is shared with followers from both accounts, with both accounts’ avatars displayed in the top-left corner.
Twitter will also have to implement tools to prevent users from abusing the function by spamming it.
The platform has yet to disclose when co-authored tweets will be available to the general public till then we are waiting.
