It has become a common problem on Twitter – during major sports events or TV shows, your feed can become overwhelmed with updates from over enthusiastic friends tweeting incessantly.

Twitter today launched a solution – a mute button for users.

Available to all users from today, the feature can mute irritating or boring tweets temporarily, rather than blocking the account completely.

‘Today we’re beginning to introduce a new account feature called mute to people who use our iPhone and Android apps and twitter.com,’ the firm said.

‘Mute gives you even more control over the content you see on Twitter by letting you remove a user’s content from key parts of your Twitter experience.’
