After months of anticipation, Twitter has introduced encrypted direct messages
(DMs) to its platform. Elon Musk, the company’s chief executive, first confirmed
plans for the feature in November 2022. The new encrypted chats will appear
separately in users’ inboxes, alongside non-encrypted conversations, and will be
marked with a padlock icon to indicate their secure nature.

The decision to offer encrypted DMs is a response to growing concerns over
privacy and security in online communications.
