The platform is adding extra security for direct messages, and may also introduce voice and video calls.
Twitter plans to introduce an encrypted messaging service on Wednesday, its owner Elon Musk has tweeted.
When he bought Twitter in 2022, Mr Musk hinted at plans to turn it into a "super-app" with multiple functions. In China the super-app WeChat can be used for everything from social media and ordering food to payments and messaging, but there is not really a comparable platform in the West. Messaging platforms WhatsApp and Signal have both criticised this part of the Online Safety Bill, currently near the end of its journey through Parliament.they were concerned the legislation could undermine end-to-end encryption, which is considered by privacy campaigners and activists to be an invaluable tool.
Facebook's parent company Meta has introduced encryption to its Messenger platform with some exceptions, including Marketplace chats.Cyber-security expert Jake Moore, from ESET, said Twitter was responding to demand from privacy-conscious users.
