Twitter now lets you exchange direct messages with strangers
Users of the social network Twitter have been experiencing changes in messaging for some time that offers this service. And it is that those responsible are willing to offer a more complete and direct conversation experience, as well as private That is why some time ago they began to open the ban on messaging between users who did not follow each other.A way to be able to contact directly with people who were interested Now, these issues are outlined a little more so that direct messages or DM are more useful and allow contact even with people to who are not followed
Thus, since yesterday, users around the world are receiving a new update for both the Android platform and iOS with some changes in the policies and messaging possibilities of the social network of the 140 characters If up to date it was necessary for a person to follow the user to be able to send him a DM or direct message, now this requirement involves enabling a new option in thesettings of that person. In other words, that contact has activated the option to receive direct messages from strangers
Just access the Settings menu of the application, within the menu of the user account At the end of the whole an option has been enabled (still in English within the Android platform at least), where the possibility of receiving messages from anyone is offered(Receive messages from anyone). In this way, by activating it, any user of the social network will be able to send you a direct message. But there are more changes.
Along with this, Twitter has changed the general rules on the use of direct messages. Thus, it is now possible to reply to one of these interactions regardless of whether you are a follower or followed, or have no relationshipwith that person. A good way to encourage direct and private contact without the need to follow that person who has contacted.Something that makes things a lot easier, and that at least means not wasting time looking for that user's account and simply following him to reply to his private message. And there are still more.
In addition to these two important things, Twitter now offers a button to start this type of conversation more easily and quickly Thus, you have introduced a button to send a private message directly on the profile of users. In this way it is possible to visit your profile, where you can see your description and photo, and start sending messages directly and easily, without searching for the option or accessing direct messages from the user's own account.
In short, a few interesting changes in the messaging field of Twitter, trying to promote private communication or, at least , making it more comfortable and direct than in previous versions.The new feature has already arrived in Spain, just download the latest version for Android from Google Play , or for iOS via App Store
