Finally,TV Series Archives some peace and quiet on social media.

Twitter rolled out some new muting options today, which will allow Android and web users to hide selected words, phrases, hashtags and even emoji from their timelines and notifications for preset amounts of time.

Twitter has allowed its users to mute individual profiles and notifications for a while now — but the new individual word blockage can keep everything from annoying TV spoilers to offensive or triggering language off your timeline. We're not as sure why you'd ever want to hide a emoji — wait, that's fair if you never want to see 🍆🍆🍆 ever again.

Let's take a closer look at how you can enable the targeted muting. It's a simple process — and if you're sick of feeling sick after a scroll through your timeline, you'll be glad you did it.

Twitter's iOS app still doesn't offer the super-targeted options for muting words like timeline, users or timespan. It's easy to control your muted words, phrases, hashtags and emoji, though — just press on the mute icon to bring it back into your life.

Twitter hasn't set an exact date for when the new features will be available for iOS users, but a company rep told us via email it's coming soon.

It's as easy as that. Now, when you're waiting to catch up on Game of Thronesor feeling sick to your stomach about the state of the world, you'll still be able to stay connected to the Twitterverse — well, the parts of it that don't suck, anyway — without completely ruining your day.
