Why did Twitter develop audio functionality?

Twitter has always been a place of free expression. Users can tweet about anything, with a very limited character limit. However, something was missing: the voice.

With the rise of voice assistants and connected speakers, Twitter has realized that audio has become an increasingly important means of communication. The audio feature allows users to express themselves freely, without being limited by the number of characters.

How do I use the audio feature on Twitter?

Using the audio feature is very simple. Simply click on the microphone icon in the Twitter application to record a voice message. The maximum length of an audio message is 140 seconds, giving you plenty of time to express yourself. It is also possible toadd text to an audio message to make it easier to understand.
