X<\/a> (formerly Twitter<\/a>) is said to be developing a new functionality that will enable users to view posts even from the people they have blocked. At the moment, users are unable to see the posts, replies, media and followers of the person they have been blocked by, this might change soon, according to Elon Musk who owns the microblogging platform. Notably, a recent report suggested that X might also launch its payment services soon, realising Musk’s vision of making it into an \u201ceverything\u201d app.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk Confirms X Will Dilute Blocking Feature\u00a0<\/h2>\n

In a post<\/a> on X, app researcher @nima_owji highlighted that the microblogging platform will remove existing blocking functionality. If the user’s account is public, their posts will be visible to even those users who have been blocked by them. Replying to this post, Elon Musk said, \u201cHigh time this happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Musk added that X’s updated block functionality will prevent an account from engaging with the one that blocked them. However, it will not stop blocked users from seeing posts shared by public profiles.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Musk has been critical of the blocking feature present on social media platforms. Last year, he claimed that this feature \u201cmade no sense\u201d and should be deprecated in favour of a \u201cstronger form of mute\u201d. In August 2023, the billionaire even threatened to remove this feature from X entirely, except for the direct messages (DMs).<\/p>\n

This feature is speculated to be rolled out soon. However, Gadgets 360 staff members were unable to see posts after testing the existing blocking functionality, which suggests that it may not have been introduced yet.<\/p>\n

X Improving Community Notes Feature<\/h2>\n

In addition to the removal of the legacy block feature, X is also tipped<\/a> to be developing functionality which lets users add a community note to a link. It is speculated to be visible on every post which includes that link. Users can select the \u201cshould appear on all posts that include this link\u201d option to make it visible with every post. Musk corroborated this feature’s development by commenting \u201cCommunity Notes\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
