This is the function of the new Twitter button
Just click on the envelope icon to open a new window and choose in which conversation share said message privately A simple process that can be used to secretly comment or without the eyes of followers of any kind of content or tweet. Something that, according to those responsible for Twitter, users tend to do quite often.
According to the company's own data, in 2015 private message traffic increased by 60 percentA fact that should not be surprising if we take into account Twitter's work in recent months promoting this tool with the introduction of GIF images, Emoji emoticons, private group conversations in this section of the social network or even the option to send long private messages, more beyond the natural limit of 140 characters Qualities that have fostered private communication through a social network that was created with the aim of making all interactions public and immediate .
In addition, Twitter ensures that tweets are shared privatelythey've grown really fast in the second half of last year, reaching 200% growth Something that has helped them shape this new role, doing more It is easy for users of the social network to share content from their wall to other people without leaving a trace, direct messages (DM) being the fastest and most convenient way to do so without leaving the 140-character application.
This function will not radically change the luck of Twitter, which has been in decline for months now without any encouragement to help it regain momentum lost and conquer new users. However, it is a clear commitment to messaging, which continues to grow among tweets. And that, as its managers say, it is used by millions of users on a daily basis to contact each other, speak directly with brands, share comments that they do not want to make public or raise all kinds of campaigns to get more followers.
For now, we will have to wait until the update reaches Google Play Store for Android and to App Store for iOS, although Twitter ensures that this feature has already been released for everyone.
