Twitter will allow the sending of voice memos through private messages | Lifestyle

Direct messages (DM) from Twitter have become the new WhatsApp. Why write through the app If we can do practically the same thing with a friend to whom we want to tell something or meet for a drink at noon? Hence those DMs go little by little, acquiring more typical uses and customs of the groups and conversations that we have in other types of applications.

So Twitter has decided to take its voice messages away from its own timeline of tweets and messages that we dive through daily, allowing that method of communication be available for those DMs how much trouble they bring. And said and done, those of Jack Dorsey have announced that they will begin their expansion through the different accounts and territories around the world, with special priority for three who are the lucky pioneers of this function: India, Brazil and Japan.

Speak and don’t write

The enormous advantage of voice notes is that we will not have to go around asking anyone if this or that word is written with “b” or with “v”, so we save ourselves that work and pressing (and holding) on ​​the button from the microphone We can send a voice memo that, at most, can be extended for 140 seconds. That is, two minutes and 20 seconds.

According to the company itself, which is already testing the effectiveness of this new communication method through DMs, with this addition, the social network gets a “more humane” treatment among users and the barriers and misunderstandings and interpretations that take place when we simply read a text are eliminated at a stroke. And it is true, because it is not the same to hear someone say something to us, with the real intonation and their intentions very clear, than to put it in writing and be the ones who decide with what humor those words were pronounced.

In our country we will still have to wait since Twitter for these changes takes things quite calmly. And it is that the inclusion of these voice notes in the DM as an alternative began to be tested in September of last year and here we have not yet been able to use them. So the same thing we still need more time to have them ready although it gives us in the nose that with the Clubhouse threat and its voice chats growing by the day, the same this time they run more than necessary.
