Mute words: Does a muted keyword suppress notifications from verified accounts?

Problem

Users rely on Twitter’s mute words feature to reduce notification noise. The feature is advertised to suppress tweets containing specified keywords in both the timeline and notifications. However, its interaction with notifications from verified accounts and replies remains unclear.

Goal

Determine whether muting a keyword actually blocks notifications when the keyword appears in tweets from verified accounts, and whether replies that contain the muted keyword are consistently suppressed.

Constraints

The mute words list is stored locally per device; there is no visible UI indicator that a mute word is active for notifications. Behavior may differ across iOS, Android, and web clients.

Unresolved Questions

• When a muted keyword appears in a tweet from a verified account, is the notification suppressed for the user?
• Do replies that contain a muted keyword reliably trigger no notification, or does the suppression vary by platform?
• Is there a consistent way to confirm that mute words are effectively applied to notifications across devices?
