Days after introducing a feature called ‘Fleets’, Twitter is back with yet another update that allows users to speak their minds out. Quite literally! The microblogging site has added a “human touch” to Twitter conversations by allowing users to upload voice notes, reports News18.
You can Tweet a Tweet. But now you can Tweet your voice!
Rolling out today on iOS, you can now record and Tweet with audio. pic.twitter.com/jezRmh1dkD

People will be able to record 140 seconds of audio for their voice tweets. And, in case they wish to speak more, they can keep recording and the new voice note will automatically turn into a tweet thread. However, the feature is currently available for iOS users only.
so why bring audio to Twitter? the team talked at length about the amazing storytellers on Twitter. for ex:
✊🏽Activists
📝Journalists
🎤Podcasters
🔉Radio Hosts
🎶Musicians
😂Comedians& everyday folks who just have a crazy story they need to get off their chest.

The new feature aims to help users to share their perspectives quickly and easily. It will help create a more human experience for listeners and storytellers alike.
Several people joked about the new feature and asked why the discrimination with Andriod users:

Others were left unimpressed as all they wanted was an edit button to rectify their tweets:
hey Twitter, here's some cool suggestion:
1. folders for bookmarks
2. search bar for DMs
3. lists for blocked account so we can put them in separate list on why we block certain people
4. bring back the option to use gif as pfpthanks.
