Twitter rolled out two features that it had been testing for direct messages: filters for unwanted DM requests and a search bar for DMs.

The social network initially began testing the DM request filter in August, and it said in a tweet earlier this week that the feature is being rolled out to everyone on iOS, Android and web.

We tested, and turns out filters help you cut through the noise to find gems. Who knew. So we’re rolling out this filter to everyone on iOS, Android, and web!
