If you like audio more than text, you’ll be glad to know about Twitter’s latest feature. In a blog post, the Silicon Valley tech company recently announced a new feature that lets you attach audio snippets to your tweets.
The audio snippets feature is currently available to test and is deemed as a way to “add a more human touch” to the platform. Audio snippets will also help complement the 280 characters limit imposed on Twitter.
In addition, its clear tweet translation aren’t accurate most of the time, so audio snippets will also help avoid “conversational nuances” from being lost in between translation.
How to Create Audio Snippets on Twitter
Step 1. Open the Tweet composer by tapping on the Tweet button
Step 2. Tap on the new icon with wavelengths located alongside the media attachment section (You will be presented with your profile photo with a record button at the bottom)
Step 3. Tap the record button to start recording your voice and “Done” once you’ve finished
Voice tweets max out at 140 seconds. In case you have more to say that can’t fit into the time limit, just keep talking. Twitter will automatically start a new voice tweet to create a thread that you can send once you’re done recording. Note that for now the feature is being tested on iOS only currently.
