Elon Musk, the CEO of X (Twitter), said, Friday, that users will no longer be able to block unwanted people, and it will be only available for direct messages

Blocking was one of the key safety features for users on this app.

“Block is going to be deleted as a ‘feature’, except for DMs,” Musk replied on one of the tweets on Tesla account.

Removing the "Block" feature is not the only change that hit the popular social media platform.

Twitter has changed its brand and logo from its famous blue bird to "X". The new white X on a black background has replaced the bluebird.

Nine months after Musk bought one of the world's most popular social media platforms, the major rebrand he has long threatened has begun. "Tweets" will also be replaced, according to Twitter's owner Elon Musk, and posts will be called "x's".
