To help users stay away from unwanted tweets and conversations, Twitter is all set to introduce a new feature for its micro-blogging platform. This feature will allow users to “unmention” or “untag” themselves from tweets and conversations and prevent anyone from mentioning them in the future as well It is a nifty new addition that aims to give Twitteratis more control over their privacy.
Sometimes you want to talk, and sometimes you just … don’t.

As you can see, the new “Unmention yourself” feature will essentially let you remove your Twitter handle from a tweet or conversation to prevent unwanted attention. If anyone you know mentions your Twitter ID in a tweet and you find it offensive or just do not want to be a part of that thread, you will be able to unmention yourself. Doing this will remove the link to your Twitter handle from the tweet and convert the @ mention into plain text in the original tweet.
Plus, once you unmention yourself from the tweet, the person will not be able to mention your Twitter ID in their future tweets, until you change your mention settings.
