Users of the X platform have reported the appearance of a graphic element depicting a pointing hand. This visual cue directs users toward the promote button while they are drafting their posts.
The feature appeared suddenly over a 24-hour period. Some users noted that the animation emerged specifically when certain phrases, such as engagement farming, were included in the text of their posts.
Peter Sellis recently assumed the role of product chief at X, succeeding the previous head who departed in August. It remains unconfirmed whether the new product leadership is responsible for this interface change.
The company has not provided an official explanation regarding the purpose of the pointing hand. X has not responded to requests for comment on whether this is a temporary feature or a permanent update.
