Twitter Starts Rolling out Voice DM Feature in India

Audio is becoming an integral component of the Twitter experience. After rolling out the audio tweets and Audio Spaces feature, the micro-blogging platform is rolling out the ability to send voice DMs to users in select countries. On yeah, you can now finally serenade users with your sweet voice in Twitter DMs.

The voice DM feature is initially available to users in India, Brazil, and Japan, starting 17th February (today). It is an experimental feature that was first reported to be under testing back in September last year. It is now finally making its way to users in a phased manner, both on iOS and Android.

 Now, to answer an important question, how long can a voice DM on Twitter be? Well, just like audio tweets, the company will let you record a maximum of 140-second long voice messages.

“We’re excited to bring the voice messages in DMs experiment to the country and give people a new way to express themselves and help them connect through the nuances, emotion, and empathy built by hearing someone’s voice,” stated Manish Maheshwari, Managing Director, Twitter India in an official press release.
