Twitter is debuting a new feature that lets iOS users record audio snippets up to 140 seconds, and share them as audio tweets.
When they told me 2020 will be the year of voice, I expected a lot, but not thatTwitterwould suddenly become a place of voice recorded conversations.Yet, this is where we are at: Audio tweets are now a reality.
Sometimes 280 characters aren’t enough and some conversational nuances are lost in translation.So starting today, we’re testing a new feature that will add a more human touch to the way we use Twitter — your very own voice,” Twitter’s Maya Patterson and Rémy Bourgoin wrote ina blog post.
When starting to compose a tweet, you will see a new waveform icon beside the camera icon.Tap it and you get to record your own audio message before sharing it, alongside a written tweet.You can record up to 140 seconds of audio.That is a lot more content than 280 characters.But I do like the inside joke of using 140 as the limit.
“Each voice tweet captures up to 140 seconds of audio.Have more to say?Keep talking.Once you reach the time limit for a tweet, a new voice tweet starts automatically to create a thread,” Twitter said.
