The short message service Twitter is still undergoing changes under its new owner Elon Musk. Musk announced on Twitter that the brand name Twitter would soon be replaced and a new logo would be introduced. He shared a video featuring a stylized ‘X’, hinting at the development of the letter into a brand and an app for various functions.
Musk’s company, X Holding Corp, now owns Twitter, after it was transferred from ‘Twitter Inc.’ to ‘X Corp.’ It has been revealed that Musk plans to create an app called ‘X’ that will handle tasks such as shopping, payments, and messaging.
There is also a significant change coming to Twitter’s customer service. They announced that the number of daily direct messages for unverified user accounts will soon be limited. “Verified” users will have access to more daily direct messages, and verification requires a paid subscription and meeting certain criteria.
Twitter support justifies this measure as a way to combat spam and reduce its volume. Previously, the company made changes to direct message settings to address unwanted advertising. Paying customers now have the ability to directly message any Twitter user without having to send a contact request.
The goal for Twitter seems to be to discourage spam by making it more expensive. Users can adjust their direct message settings in the Twitter web client to allow messages from everyone or only from people they follow.
In conclusion, Twitter is undergoing changes under Elon Musk’s ownership, with plans for a new name, logo, and an app called ‘X’ that will handle various functions. Additionally, Twitter’s customer service is implementing measures to limit direct messages for unverified user accounts in an effort to combat spam.
