Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced that its popular micro-blogging platform is planning to release new features, including individual direct messages (DM), the use of any reaction emoji, and encryption on Twitter later this month.
“Aiming to roll out ability to reply to individual DMs, use any reaction emoji & encryption later this month,” he tweeted. Several users expressed their thoughts on Musk’s post. In February, Musk said that the micro-blogging platform will provide users with the ability to adjust the algorithm to their “closer match” in the “coming months”.

“Great updates that will help conversations flow more smoothly. Particularly looking forward to variety of reaction emoji’s… it’s the little things,” a user commented. “Excellent. Chat encryption is especially a must-have,” another user said. Additionally, a user praised Musk’s efforts in implementing the new features and also asked if he could also bring the “unsend” feature for direct messages.
