SINGAPORE — Twitter has made it easier for users to talk directly to each other with changes to its direct messaging feature.
From today (April 21), users can opt to receive direct messages from anyone and reply to anyone who sends them a direct message, without having to follow the person or have that person follow them.
On Android and iPhone, there will also be a new Direct Message button on the profile page of users one can send a direct message to.
Twitter said in a press release it is rolling out the changes from today to users worldwide. “Twitter has lots more in the works to improve Direct Messages on Twitter, so that the private side of Twitter is just as fulfilling as the public side,” it added.
