The problem of spam messages is omnipresent. Be it any platform, somehow spammers find a way to send pesky messages to users.

Twitter revealed that encrypted direct messages are now supported. It allows subscribers to communicate without the platform storing their messages, which will be available only on the device. The big catch is that only paying members will get it - it includes verified users and organizations or their affiliates. The requirement is for both the sender and recipient, meaning if you are not paying at least $8/mo for Twitter Blue, encrypted DMs will remain unavailable. Screenshots of the…

Elon Musk's long-promised launch of encrypted direct messages on Twitter has arrived.

The good: Twitter has added an optional layer of security for a small subset of its users that has never existed in Twitter's 16-plus years online. As for the bad and ugly: Well, that list is quite a lot longer.On Wednesday night, Twitter announced the release of encrypted direct messages, a feature that…

However, the initial rollout comes with some major limitations that could make it less than ideal for privacy-conscious Twitter users.
