Micro-blogging site Twitter has begun to test downvote replies for a global audience.
The experimental feature, which was tested last year for some iOS users, is now available to global audience.
Twitter said this feature helps a user in understanding how relevant the replies are in a conversation.
The feature also indicates the type of replies a user finds relevant in a conversation. However, the downvote feature is not visible to the public, reported by The Hindu.
Initially, this feature was available to a selected group of web users, but Twitter says it will soon be expanding for Android and iOS users.
“Finally, people who have tested downvoting agree it improves the quality of conversations on Twitter. We’re excited to see how others think of it as it becomes available to more of you”, the company added.
