Twitter will be making a range of improvements to its Direct Messaging system over the next few weeks, the company has announced. “Some DM improvements are coming your way over the next few weeks. We’ve got easier Tweet sharing, better navigation when in a convo, and more,” Twitter wrote from its official Twitter Support account.
With this, users will be able to share the same Tweet in up to 20 different DM conversations, separately to avoid group chats when they send the same tweet to multiple people. This feature will be rolling out on iOS and web, and will soon be expanded to Android.
