The feature is only available on android and IOS but users can listen to the voice messages they receive on web browser. While launching the feature, Twitter said that it will give users an extra and easy chance to express themselves better and create a good user experience.
“India is a priority market for Twitter and that is why we’re constantly testing new features and learning from people’s experience on the service here. We’re excited to bring the voice messages in DMs experiment to the country and give people a new way to express themselves and help them connect through the nuances, emotion, and empathy built by hearing someone’s voice,” said Managing Director of Twitter India, Manish Maheshwari.
Last year Twitter had also launched a feature of voice tweets which allows users to share voice tweets with no attached texts.
