We’ve relaunched this experiment on iOS that asks you to review a reply that’s potentially harmful or offensive.

Twitter previously tested this feature in May and August 2020 on Android, iOS and desktop. However, this re-launch of the test now will only appear on iOS.
Initially, when Twitter announced the test run, it was able to find harmful language based on the language that had previously been reported.
Twitter has experienced success with similar features. For example, the social media platform tested a feature in June that encouraged users to read links in tweets before retweeting. According to Twitter, 40 percent more users opened the link attached to the tweet compared to when the prompt wasn’t present.
Unlike other social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, Twitter has historically been slow to flag offensive content.
