Twitter is working on ‘Encryption’ section for encrypted DMs

Twitter DM is a useful feature that allows us to contact our readers and tipsters. To add more security, the social media site is working on the “Encryption” section for DMs in Twitter conversations.

Jane Wong shared input on this upcoming feature and revealed that the encryption section will incorporate encrypted DMs. Jane also posted an image of how the feature would look like.

According to the image, Twitter will add the encryption section to the conversation info page. To start an encrypted conversation, you need to tap on the blue text “Send an encrypted message”.

The feature description reads “You can send encrypted messages to people who’ve already sent you a Direct Message, with an updated version of the Twitter app.”.

Encrypted Messages:

With end-to-end encrypted DMs, your messages, photos, and videos are secured from falling into the wrong hands. End-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you’re communicating with can read your message, and nobody in between, not even Twitter will be able to access them.

The feature was in work a long ago but Twitter management stopped developing encrypted DMs. In November, Elon Musk confirmed to bring back encrypted DMs and the feature is under preparations for public launch. Currently, we don’t have any input on an exact launch date for Twitter’s encrypted DMs.
