Twitter to get multiple features soon, says Elon Musk: What to expect – Times of India

Popular social media platform Twitter has been through several changes since Tesla CEO Elon Musk took it over. From bulk job cuts to blue tick verification, the billionaire has made several other adjustments as the Twitter chief. Musk has recently shared a tweet to confirm that the microblogging site was working on an update to bring out a bunch of new features. He said that the company is working on a new update that will allow users to respond to individual direct messages (DM) on Twitter. Musk also claimed that this update will also enable users to react with emojis and encryption on the platform starting later this month. The tweet shared by him said: “Aiming to roll out ability to reply to individual DMs, use any reaction emoji & encryption later this month.”

Other features coming to Twitter
Commenting on Musk’s tweet, a Youtuber asked the billionaire about adding code blocks to tweets. In replying to this, Musk suggested Twitter will extend long-form tweets to 10,000 characters.
Earlier, in February, Musk suggested that the social media site will let users improve the algorithm to their “closer match” in the “coming months”. Recently, Twitter has announced that users will be notified if a Community Note appears on a tweet they have replied to, retweeted and liked.
