Twitter, which has previously limited features for non-paying users, is now in the process of developing an additional feature that will further restrict access to certain currently free features.
According to recent reports, Twitter is developing a feature that will restrict the number of direct messages (DMs) non-premium users can send. The company plans to limit free users to 30 DMs, significantly lower than the current allowance of 500 DMs per day. This move appears to incentivize users to subscribe to Twitter Blue, a premium service that offers additional features.
Twitter Blue subscribers have access to various features, including the ability to undo tweets, compose longer tweets, pin tweets to the top of their profile, and enjoy exclusive content. These features provide added convenience and customization options for subscribers of the premium service.
While Twitter has not made an official announcement regarding the limitation of DMs for free users, reports suggest that the feature is currently being tested and may be implemented in the coming days. It’s worth noting that the platform has not provided an official timeline for the potential rollout of this feature.
Elon Musk recently confirmed that Twitter is indeed working on an update that will limit the ability to send direct messages (DMs) only to users who follow the sender. This means that users who are not being followed will only receive DMs from verified accounts or Twitter Blue subscribers. This update aims to enhance privacy and control over direct messaging on the platform.
