Twitter is also looking into making it a lot more convenient for users with multiple accounts to switch to other accounts. The social media app is planning on putting all the user's account details such as avatar, name, handle, and privacy status in one easily accessible place.

Twitter is likewise exploring a feature that makes it easier or harder for a user to be discovered on the app. This concept will actually inform Twitter users if there are accounts searching for the user's handle.
