Twitter's head of safety, Ella Irwin, told Reuters that the #ThereIsHelp feature had been 'temporarily removed' while the company is 'fixing and revamping our prompts'.

Twitter's head of safety, Ella Irwin, told Reuters that the #ThereIsHelp feature had been"temporarily removed" while the company is"fixing and revamping our prompts".Elon Musk has insisted a Twitter feature that promoted suicide prevention hotlines and similar safety resources has not been removed after reports it had been taken down for an unannounced revamp.

Responding to the claims, which were originally reported by the Reuters news agency, the billionaire said:"The message is actually still up. This is fake news. Twitter doesn't prevent suicide." This is despite the platform's head of safety, Ella Irwin, telling Reuters the feature had been"temporarily removed" while the firm is"fixing and revamping our prompts".The #ThereIsHelp feature, which shows contacts for support groups and charities, when users searched for any relevant terms, was believed to have been taken down in the last few days.

It promotes the work of organisations in many countries, including those dedicated to support for mental health, natural disasters, coronavirus vaccines, and freedom of speech.
