Twitter starts rolling out the ‘view count’ feature for tweets

The microblogging platform, Twitter has started rolling out a new feature called ‘view count’ for tweets for its users.

Twitter said that this new feature will help users in understanding how many people have ‘seen their tweets’ and it will appear right next to the counter for likes under a tweet.

Announcing this new feature in a tweet, Elon Musk wrote, “Twitter is rolling out View Count, so you can see how many times a tweet has been seen! This is normal for video. Shows how much more alive Twitter is than it may seem, as over 90% of Twitter users read, but don’t tweet, reply or like, as those are public actions.”

“Meant to say impressions, ” he added.

However, according to a support page on Twitter, view count will not be available for community tweets, Twitter Circle, and older tweets.

As far as availability is concerned, Twitter’s new View Count feature is available to Android and iOS users. Twitter said that Twitter’s web users will get access to this feature soon.
