Twitter to test new voice tweeting feature on iOS users

Twitter Inc has said that they will be testing their new feature that will allow users to tweet with their voice. The feature will capture up to 140 seconds of audio in a single tweet.

According to Twitter's blog post, the feature will be out for few users using Apple's iOS platform for now and later on it will be out for more users in the coming weeks.

A new "wavelengths" icon will be present for users composing a tweet, this will allow them to use the new audio feature.

Twitter Inc has been under pressure for a long time to curb content that contains abuse, harassment and misinformation spread through their platform.

"We are working to incorporate additional monitoring systems ahead of bringing this to everyone," Twitter spokeswoman Aly Pavela told Reuters.

"We'll review any reported voice tweets in line with our rules, and take action, including labelling, as needed."

Earlier the social media platform came with a dedicated tool to help people combat domestic violence. As the reported cases of domestic violence against women continue to rise globally, microblogging platform Twitter has launched a dedicated search prompt that will direct people looking for domestic violence-related keywords towards relevant information and sources of help on Twitter.
