Twitter Plans To Let You Search Through Lists Of People You Follow And Your Followers...So You Can Track Your 'Enemies' Better?

Elon Musk's Twitter is planning to allow users to search for people in followers and following lists — and netizens think it will be a valuable update. 

What Happened: Andrea Conway, a Twitter employee, tweeted that a search button might soon be available to followers and following lists. Conway also asked for Twitter users' opinion on the same.

Replying to a user who said the current build of followers and the following list is in a "seemingly random order," Conway tweeted, "100% we should be adding more sort abilities here too (based on engagement, follow data etc) - IMO Instagram does a really nice job."

Tech tweeter Jane Manchun Wong also shared her take.

Other users also made some crucial points. 

Andrea I will pay for this value.

I currently am manually going through my 7,000+ follower list to connect with my followers.

Twitter is in no way empowering me to be efficient at this task.

Not at all!

That would be great, I find lists very useful. How about ability to sort from newest to oldest, ascending, descending etc.?

Why It's Important: Since Musk acquired Twitter, the platform has been rolling out a series of new updates and features. 

The revamped version of Twitter Blue was just re-launched after a brief hold-up in November.
