Twitter, which has been limiting features for users who don’t pay for the service, is now working on yet another feature that will restrict access to some features that are currently available for free of cost.
As per the latest news, the microblogging platform is working on limiting the number of direct messages or DMs that a user can send if that user isn’t a premium Twitter Blue subscriber.
It is being reported that the company will limit the number of DMs to 30 for the free users, which is currently set at 500 DMs per day. With such a move, it seems that the company aims to nudge users to become paid subscribers of Twitter Blue, a premium subscription service from the platform that offers more features.
Some of the features that are available to Twitter Blue subscribers include the ability to undo tweets, write longer tweets, pin tweets at the top of the profile, and access some of the exclusive content, among others.
It’s noteworthy that Twitter hasn’t officially announced this change of limiting the number of DMs for free users, but the feature appears to be currently under testing and could be rolled out in a few days.
Recently, it was confirmed by Elon Musk that the company is working on releasing an update that will restrict the ability to send DMs to only those who follow the sender. Only verified users or Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to send DMs to the users who are not following them.
