Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) introduces new enhancements for users regularly. In the latest move, the company is rolling out a reply sorting feature for users. Plus, the platform also said the Premium+ subscription will now have zero ads on X and revamped the long-form video experience on iOS. If you are an X user, here are the top enhancements of this week.
Reply Sorting
X's official handle shared the update that the company is now introducing the option to sort replies on the platform. These include three filters: 'Most relevant replies', 'Most recent replies' and 'Most liked replies'. The filter is available below the like button on the web. It has started 'rolling out'.

No Ads In Premium+
The X handle also noted that ads will not appear on X if you are a Premium+ user. "No more ads, anywhere on X. Premium+ is now *fully* ad free," @X noted. However, the X Help Center said, "Premium+ subscribers may occasionally encounter sponsored content outside of X's standard ad inventory."

Revamped Long Form Video Experience On iOS
X engineer Jonah Katz shared that the company is revamping the long-form video experience for X on iOS. These include the ability to scroll replies beneath the video. Users can drag down a video to dock and move to Home. Plus, a landscape button allows easy switching to fullscreen mode.

The user (@dinkin_flickaa) also said people can double-tap to skip ahead or back and long press to fast forward. Users can "drag down the bottom area to enter immersive mode and watch the video distraction-free," among other things. Do note these changes are available for longer videos on X app's latest version on iOS.
