Twitter has introduced a bunch of new features to its direct letters (DM) component that brings it closer to the functionality offered past traditional messaging apps, such as Facebook Messenger and iMessage.

Chief among the new features are read receipts for your Twitter messages. The platform is as well adding typing indicators, and web link previews to DMs. Twitter claims the changes will make messaging more "dynamic than ever."

Luckily, for those of you that wish to remain silent in regards to your DM activity, y'all tin can turn off read receipts altogether in your "privacy and safety" settings. Be warned, when you lot install the update, Twitter will immediately actuate read receipts, and then make sure to customize your settings before you start messaging if you don't want the changes to be applied. Read receipts volition also utilise to group messaging, alerting members of a thread when a bulletin has been "seen by everyone."

• three. A DM containing a web link preview

Both read receipts and typing indicators (which permit you to run across when someone is typing a response — and freak out when those three dots don't result in a reply) indicate that Twitter wants its DM experience to resemble a messaging app. Does this also hateful that information technology's planning to one day spin off the feature as a stand-alone chat service, like to Facebook Messenger? That doesn't seem likely at nowadays, especially seeing as Twitter has remained relatively quiet regarding DM user numbers.

Twitter has already freed messaging from the constraints it applies to its core tweeting experience, fundamentally allowing you to limited yourself using an unlimited amount of characters. Like tweets, Twitter DMs besides allow you lot to share rich media, such as images, emojis, and GIFs. That's where web link previews come in, which were curiously missing all this time. Now, when you send a web link in a DM, a preview will automatically be created, allowing the recipient to become a meliorate idea of what it is they're opening.
