Twitter works on voice messages feature
The social network is developing this function to include it in direct messages
Twitter began testing in three countries a new feature that will allow users to send voice messages through Direct Messages, which tracks the operation of audio tweets.
Voice messages through DMs allow you to send an audio recording privately to your contacts. The feature, which was announced in September, is currently being tested in India, Brazil and Japan.
This function is similar to another that Twitter also has in tests: voice tweets. The user will find a button that allows to start recording the message. Once sent, a play bar will appear, so the recipient can listen to it.
As explained by various media, before sending the message, the user will be able to listen to the recording. And in the case of iOS, there is the option to drag and send as soon as the recording is done.
The test is available to a limited number of users in selected countries, on Android and iOS mobile devices, but voice messages received through direct messages will be able to be heard on the desktop version of the social network.
On the other hand, the voice tweets function, currently in the testing phase for iOS users, will reach the Android and desktop versions this year. The company also prepares automatic transcripts to text.
