However, there\u2019s a time limit of 140 seconds, and that\u2019s a bummer.

Personally, this feature doesn\u2019t add too much value for me. I\u2019d rather chat with a friend on WhatsApp or Signal than Twitter messages. But hey, if you use DMs extensively, it might be handy.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/shift\/2021\/02\/08\/polestar-batteries-blockchain\/\">How Polestar is using blockchain to increase transparency<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Last year, Twitter rolled out <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/twitter\/2020\/06\/17\/twitter-introduces-voice-tweets-because-sometimes-280-characters-arent-enough\/\">voice tweets<\/a> \u2014 that also had a 140-second limit \u2014 but, I haven\u2019t seen many of them on my timeline.<\/p>\n<p>Besides these two features, the company is also experimenting with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TwitterSpaces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Spaces<\/a> \u2014 its Clubhouse competitor that allows you to chat with people in real-time through audio.

By far, only Spaces have caught my attention, and it\u2019s the only audio feature I\u2019m likely to use.<\/p>\n<p><i>Did you know we have a newsletter all about consumer tech?
