Twitter adds new DM features, and Musk says E2EE is here, starting today
"We are already working on improving these features - web support and better rendering for replies to media messages," Twitter Support said.prior to the Support account's announcement last night that"release of encrypted DMs V1.0 should happen tomorrow.
Musk added that Twitter would also be adding voice and video chat"so you can talk to people anywhere in the world without giving them your phone number." This, perhaps, is the next" " feature - it's a clear attempt to lure users from platforms like Signal, which offer encrypted communications by default, but require a phone number that's publicly visible and used to contact others.Of course,"encrypted messages arrive today" is no guarantee that's actually the case, and Twitter users assuming their DMs are now truly private are doing so at their own risk.
