Twitter testing voice message for DMs
Twitter is now experimenting with the idea of letting people record and send voice messages through direct messages.
Similar to voice tweets, voice messages have a bare-bones, simple interface: there’s just a play / pause button, and the sender’s avatar pulsates as the message plays. The product team designed an “in-line recording experience to make it easier to send these messages as part of the natural conversation flow,” so that’s one difference from the current audio tweets interface. There’s a “report message” option in the event that someone misuses voice DMs, which is always a fair concern with private audio.

Twitter shutting down legacy version is comparable to Flipkart and Myntra going app only e-commerce service for mobile devices in 2015. It allowed not only their rivals. Even smaller competitors to got to grew their market share. Seeing decline in customers Flipkart had to bring back their mobile site. Coming to Twitter many Windows Phones, old iPads and Gaming Device users will loose access to the service as they will have no official apps or browsers supporting the full version of Twitter. Leave alone users from poor countries where Internet services are below average and expensive. They uses apps like Opera Mini to save data. In many countries carriers collaborate with these browsers to sell their internet plans. Earlier India was one of this country. I think twitter needs to delay shutting down of their legacy service until for next 3 years atleast. Or it's gonna be facebook dominating in developing world.

A couple of weeks ago, we announced that we’re planning to bring back our public verification program in 2021, shared a draft of our new policy, and asked for public feedback to help shape our approach. This new policy will lay the foundation for future improvements by defining what verification means, who is eligible for verification and why some accounts might lose verification to ensure the program is more equitable.
Our plans to relaunch verification and what’s next

When Joe Biden becomes president on January 20, his administration will gain control of the @POTUS and @WhiteHouse Twitter accounts. But the combined 60 million followers of those accounts may not be going with them.
The transfer has become an issue between Twitter and the Biden transition team, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Biden team wants to keep the followers of those accounts, as was the case for the Obama-Trump transition. Four years ago, and dealing with this issue for the first time, the Obama administration made it a point to make the digital transition as smooth and seamless as possible. This time, Twitter has other ideas.
“The accounts will not automatically retain their existing followers,” Twitter spokesperson Nick Pacilio said in a statement. “Instead, Twitter will notify followers of these accounts to provide context that the content will be archived and allow them the choice to follow the Biden administration’s new accounts.”
The viral tweet about Trump refusing to give Biden his @POTUS followers is wrong, even if it is on-brand
