Twitter to soon add new features, including calls, encrypted messaging

 

Washington: Twitter CEO Elon Musk will not lag behind in adding new features to the social networking site. The business tycoon announced on Wednesday that users can direct message reply to any message in the thread with emojis. Moreover, Twitter is going to introduce voice and video chat on its platform in the coming days for better communication.

Musk tweeted, ‘With latest version of app, you can DM reply to any message in the thread (not just most recent) and use any emoji reaction. Release of encrypted DMs V1.0 should happen tomorrow. This will grow in sophistication rapidly. The acid test is that I could not see your DMs even if there was a gun to my head. Coming soon will be voice and video chat from your handle to anyone on this platform, so you can talk to people anywhere in the world without giving them your phone number’.

Elon mentioned that the DM facility will be in action from May 11. This announcement comes a day after Twitter is going to remove the accounts with ‘no activity for several years.’We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see followers count drop’, Elon Musk tweeted on Monday. A few days back, Twitter was in the headlines as several celebrities lost blue tick from their accounts. The blue tick served as a way of protecting well-known individuals from impersonation and tackling false information.
