witter is a popular social media platform for important conversations and announcements. Most businesses and individuals use Twitter’s microblogging format to make announcements and share life updates. While Twitter lets you create open conversation threads through tweets, it also offers a direct messaging (DM) feature to connect with people more privately. Twitter DMs are typically used to connect with business colleagues, share sly memes with friends, or just have a private chat. Recently, Twitter also introduced the ability to send voice messages in DMs.
Twitter announced the ability to send and receive voice messages in Direct Messages just over a month ago. This feature was initially rolled out in a few markets, India being one of them.
