The earlier announced Unmention feature of Twitter is now rolling out for every user worldwide. With this feature, the micro-blogging website will let you exit yourself from any mentioned post. Well, to know how you can use Twitter’s new Unmention feature, do not skip till the end.
In April 2022, Twitter proclaimed the Unmention feature by saying that we are experimenting with unmentioning – a way to help you protect your peace and remove yourself from conversations. At that time, this feature was available only on web versions, not for the app itself.
Now, after three months of the announcement, the Unmention feature is available for every user. Everyone can now use the feature to unmention themselves from any tagged post or leave ongoing conversations.
Sometimes you want to see yourself out.

What Does Unmention/Untag Mean On Twitter?
Getting mentioned by any known or unknown person on Twitter is quite normal these days. But, it might bother you when you start getting tons of tiresome notifications of comments and retweets from the tweet. For sure, these notifications will make you irritated. What will you do?

There is nothing much to do to use the Unmention feature to leave any Twitter conversation you are tagged in. It is quite a simple process to do. You can use the below steps to be unmentioned on Twitter.
- Go to the tweet in which someone mentioned you and you want to remove that.
- Look for the three dots in the top right corner of the tweet, and click on the dots.
