The feature works similarly to smart replies in other apps. Twitter wants to make conversations easier. The test is small and limited. Only some iOS users in English-speaking markets see it now. Twitter will watch how people use it. The company might change or expand it later.
Twitter says this is an early experiment. They are exploring ways to improve the user experience. Feedback from the test will guide next steps. Smart replies aim to speed up interactions. Twitter hopes it makes the platform more engaging. They emphasize this is just a trial run.
The suggested replies are generated automatically. They try to match the context of the original tweet. Twitter uses technology to create relevant options. Users still choose whether to send them or not. They can also edit the suggestions before posting. Twitter stresses user control over the feature.
