Twitter is testing prompts to warn users if a conversation they are about to join might get 'heated or intense'

Twitter says that it is testing out prompts on Android and iOS to warn people if a conversation they are about to join on the social media platform could become "heated or intense."

"Ever want to know the vibe of a conversation before you join in? We're testing prompts on Android and iOS that give you a heads up if the convo you're about to enter could get heated or intense. This is a work in progress as we learn how to better support healthy conversation," the social media giant tweeted on its Twitter Support account.

"We are testing giving people a heads up before they join a potentially heated discussion," a Twitter spokesperson informed Fox Business via a statement. "This is the first exploration into more context about a conversation's vibes, so you can be informed before you join."
