Twitter has introduced changes to how conversations are shown on the
tweet page which might save users some time untangling the usual mess of
conversation replies surrounding a tweet.
Announcing the news in a
blog post, Twitter said that it will group conversations together and
will highlight some of the interesting exchanges surrounding a given
tweet. The micro-blogging network said it believes that the new feature
will make it easier to follow conversations on the tweet page.
The

from Monday, and will arrive on mobile apps in the future - though
Twitter has not provided a time-frame.
Twitter has further
clarified that it will filter interesting conversations based on few
factors such as whether the original account has replied to the given
tweet. This means that the tweets that are replies to a given tweet will
be connected by a line.
Users who want see more of the replies
to a given tweet within a conversation will have to click the "View
other replies" button. Twitter further adds that it will be improving
the feature constantly to improve the experience.
"Like with other
features, we will continually be iterating and improving on this
experience to make it easier to understand and participate in
conversations on Twitter as well as to find the best, most relevant
content we have to offer," notes Twitter on its official blog post.
