Twitter testing upto 140-second long voice messages in DMs in India
Twitter on Wednesday announced it is testing voice
messages in direct messages (DMs) up to 140-seconds long in India.
The experiment will be rolled out in phases to the audiences,
making India one of three countries to have access to the feature, alongside
Brazil and Japan.
According to the company, voice messages in DMs will make it
easier for people to have conversations.
"We're excited to bring the voice messages in DMs experiment
to the country and give people a new way to express themselves and help them
connect through the nuances, emotion, and empathy built by hearing someone's
voice," said Manish Maheshwari, Managing Director, Twitter India.
Each voice message can be upto 140 seconds long and can help
people chat quickly - whether on the move or when there's just too much to
type.
"We are dedicated to giving people more options to express
themselves in conversations on Twitter - both
publicly and privately," said Alex Ackerman-Greenberg, Product Manager for
direct messages at Twitter.
This is how the new feature will work.
In a DM conversation, tap the new voice recording icon once to
begin recording.
Tap the stop icon when you're done and you'll have the option to
listen to your recording before sending or deleting it.
