Twitter Shuts Down CoTweets Feature
Twitter has announced the immediate shutdown of its CoTweets feature, which allowed two users to co-author and publish tweets together. The feature will be sunsetted starting Jan. 31.
Users will no longer be able to create CoTweets, but existing co-authored tweets will be viewable for another month before being converted into regular tweets. The primary author will be recognized, while the secondary author will be removed from the tweet.
Twitter’s History of Experimental Feature Shutdowns
Twitter’s decision to discontinue CoTweets follows a pattern of shutting down experimental features, such as Fleets, launched in 2020 and terminated in 2021. Under Elon Musk’s leadership, Twitter has undergone significant changes, including layoffs and product closures like Revue, the newsletter platform acquired in 2021.
As Twitter moves towards becoming a payment service, non-core features may be at risk of being discontinued. Users can expect more changes as the platform evolves under Musk’s leadership.
