With the introduction of Twitter Blue, there have been notable distinctions between free and paid users on the microblogging platform. According to recent reports, Twitter is now contemplating limiting the number of Direct Messages (DMs) for users who do not subscribe to Twitter Blue.
Currently, each account has a daily limit of 500 DMs (from different accounts) that can be sent. Once this threshold is reached, users are unable to send further DMs for the remainder of the day. However, rumors suggest that this limit may be reduced to only 30 DMs per day exclusively for free users.
While 30 DMs per day might not pose a significant issue for regular users, businesses and influencers on Twitter often receive a higher volume of DMs. Consequently, they may find it necessary to switch to Twitter Blue in order to maintain an open messaging feature.
This move by Twitter, if implemented, can be seen as an attempt to encourage users to embrace Twitter Blue, which offers enhanced features and fewer restrictions. Subscribers gain benefits such as the ability to write longer tweets, upload extended videos, edit and undo tweets, support text formatting, and more.
It’s important to note that this information is still speculative, and Twitter has not officially confirmed any changes to the DM sending limit for free users. However, discussions are reportedly underway, and we may receive definitive information in the coming weeks.
