Twitter is testing a new feature that lets users record, and send, Twitter Voice Messages in their DMs.
After introducing audio tweets last year, and Spaces more recently, Twitter is continuing down the audio path, with a new test in three regions. Earlier this week, the micro-blogging platform announced the ability to record and send voice messages in DMs.
The feature isn’t something new to the market, as most other messaging apps allow users to send each other audio messages. However, it’s a brand new way to communicate on Twitter, which has historically been all about short text. Instead of using 140 characters, users now use 140 seconds of audio.

The feature is now being tested in India, Brazil, and Japan for the time being. If you have access to it, you’ll find a purple spectrogram icon in your DMs, instead of the send message button. You can replay your recorded message before sending it.
You can react to Twitter voice messages with emojis, just like you can do with ordinary DMs.
