Twitter Is Exploring Co-Authored Tweets For Upcoming Collaboration Feature

Micro-blogging site Twitter is working on a feature that will allow two accounts to co-author a single tweet. This feature will be similar to the collab feature on Instagram where a single post can be made on two accounts at the same time. The feature was recently spotted by a reverse engineer, who shared an official dialogue box from Twitter about how these collaborations could work. The feature will allow two users to co-author a tweet, giving creators a new way to post brand partnerships, influencer campaigns, or just for two people to share credits for a post. Meta-owned Instagram announced a similar feature that allows two creators to share credit for a post.

The screenshots shared by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi show how Twitter ‘Collaborations’ will work. It says that you’ll only be able to invite public accounts who follow you to co-author a tweet, and those accounts will also have to accept your invitation, meaning that no one can force someone into a collaboration. In co-authored tweets, both users’ Twitter handles and names will appear at the top of the tweet above its content. Once published, the co-authored tweets are shared from both accounts.
