Twitter update removes Direct Messaging restrictions

directmessage

Twitter has today announced a new update for its platform which brings some changes to the way Direct Messages are handled by the users. Previously, sending a direct message to somebody required them to follow you first. This has changed today as there will be a new setting which will allow users to allow DMs from practically anybody on Twitter.

Users can toggle to receive Direct Messages from anybody on Twitter, so it’s still a choice and not mandatory. This is a neat feature to have and will allow users to converse with the other users on Twitter without having to follow each other.

Twitter will start showing a new Direct Message button on user profiles, making it easier for you to send messages directly from their profile. The feature should be making its way to Android version of the app pretty soon, although Twitter only has a screenshot for the iOS version at the moment.

Do you welcome these changes to the Twitter apps? Sound off below.
