Twitter has been experiencing much turbulence since Elon Musk bought the firm at the end of October. But on Thursday, he finally did something uncontroversial.
Elon Musk has unveiled a new Twitter feature that lets you see how many times a tweet has been viewed.
The company’s new owner and CEO posted about the feature on Thursday, noting that it’s similar to how the platform already shows view counts for videos.
“Twitter is rolling out View Count, so you can see how many times a tweet has been seen! This is normal for video,” Musk said. “Shows how much more alive Twitter is than it may seem, as over 90% of Twitter users read, but don’t tweet, reply or like, as those are public actions.”
The count shows on Twitter for iOS, Android, and web, and as you can see from Musk’s tweet (above), appears at the bottom of each post, on the far left.
