TSR Tech: Roommates, Black Twitter is having a field day after the platform rolled out a new voice note feature today! As part of your tweeting experience, you can now tweet audio messages as attachments that people can play on their feed.
The feature is accessible through the compose icon, where you normally click to create a tweet. There is now a voice icon option, and users can record a voice message with the option of adding text or starting a thread with multiple tweets. Users can record up to 2 minutes and 20 seconds per tweet.
Awwww Voice Tweets! Thank you @Twitter! pic.twitter.com/IbxdghoIUD

In a press release, Twitter specifies that the voice note feature is only available to use in original tweets, and it is not possible to tweet audio through replies or retweets. A user’s current profile photo is used as a static image on the audio attachment to signify that you should press play!
Are y’all going to be using the new feature, Roomies? Let us know in the comments!
