- And this night will launch message encryption
- Users will communicate without giving their phone number
Ilon Musk announced new features that will soon be coming to Twitter.
First, the app will be updated this night to introduce the option to encrypt messages. And voice and video calls will be added soon.
Call and video chat feature will make Twitter like Facebook and Instagram. And encrypted direct messages will bring the social network closer to Signal functionality.
It is not yet clear whether the encryption option will work for Twitter calls.
The platform will also roll out a cleanup of archive pages in the near future. It will apply to accounts that have not been active for several years.
According to Twitter’s new rules, the owner must visit his account at least once every 30 days. In case of prolonged absence, the page can be considered inactive and has to be deleted.
The other day it became known that Elon Musk reduced the number of Twitter staff to 1,000 people. This is a 90% reduction since the businessman came to power.
At the same time, the new head dreams of turning the social network into an “app for everything”. How he plans to do this with fewer employees is still unclear. In April, Twitter launched monetization for authors.
