Twitter is now testing out a new feature for a limited number of users. Unfortunately, it still isn’t the edit button we all need. You can now tweet your voice with audio tweets, a feature that will be available to all users in the coming months. If you have early access to the new feature, here’s how to use it, as FastCompany details:
- Compose a new tweet
- tap the audio button (beside the option to add a photo)
- tap the record button
- and then tap done
Twitter is limiting audio tweets to 140-second clips (like the original 140-character limit), but the company says it will automatically create a thread of tweets when users’ recordings stretch past that time limit. Twitter won’t allow users to reply to tweets with their voice, a decision presumably shaped by the social network’s failures to address harassment and abuse on the service.
