While there is all the hullaballoo around relationships and love in the ongoing Valentine’s Week, it’s not easy for singles or those trying to move on from a breakup. So, Twitter came to rescue, reminding all singles that one need to be bothered by the overwhelming lovey-dovey posts on the platform — muted words!
The official handle of the micro-blogging site tweeted: “Reminder that you can mute words,” along with a list of words that people can mute.
Explaining how it works, the social media platform said one could simply mute each words and determine the duration for which they do not wish to see any tweets or contents mentioning it to cleanse their timelines.
Some of the suggestions included phrases like — “valentine’s day”, “date night”, “gf bf” among others.

While most loved the thoughtful gesture by the admin of the handle saying “a must do for all singles”, others grew slightly concerned seeing the time for which some words were blocked.
As much as some users thanked admin for the helpful tips, many are now convinced that “even the app was single”, prompting many jokes online.

But what really made it a wholesome thread, when the Twitter admin confirmed the claim replying to few of the tweets and many were happy, they’re not alone.
