Twitter is experimenting with new pop-ups that encourage users to share tweets or copy links while also limiting screenshots. App researchers Jane Manchun Wong and Matt Navarra, a social media expert, were the ones to notice this initially.

One of the most common ways to share tweets with friends or post them on other social media accounts is to take a screenshot of the tweet. However, a pop-up is now appearing on Twitter for many users requesting them to share the tweet rather than screenshot it.

When users take a screenshot, various pop-ups are displayed. Other people see a 'Copy Link' button, some people see a 'Share Tweet' button, and some people see a dialogue box with both of these options.

Every day, Twitter users share millions of Tweets on other networks. A Twitter spokesperson says, 'We aim to provide easy access to Tweets for everyone, even if they leave our platform, and gives people a method to quickly rejoin the entire discourse on Twitter.' According to a Twitter spokeswoman, 'We're presently testing this new prompt with a limited group of iOS users to let them know there are other methods they can share Tweets with their contacts.

This might be a test by Twitter to encourage more users to use its platform directly. People who view tweets through screenshots are not interacting with any website features at all. They are therefore most likely not 'monetizable' users since the social network cannot display advertisements to them or solicit their registration for the service.

The business launched an experiment in August that let certain users use Twitter without signing up for an account. This tweet did not let users to use features like retweeting or liking, but it did allow them to follow 50 accounts and reply to tweets.

A statistic Twitter created for its own use, monetizable daily active users (mDAUs), climbed 16.6% year over year to 237.8 million, according to the company's Q2 2022 earnings reports, which were released in July. Asking individuals to share tweets rather than collecting screenshots is one little step in the direction of the company's goal of increasing the number of active users.

A screenshot-prevention feature for private 'see once' messages was just revealed by WhatsApp, however it doesn't stop you from screenshotting a regular chat. It is unusual for a corporation to ask customers not to screenshot public posts.
