Twitter is reportedly working on a feature to limit the number of direct messages or DMs that non-verified users can send in one day.
A screenshot of the feature in the works shows a pop-up message or a prompt asking the user to “Get verified to send more messages”.
Additional information include: “You’ve hit the maximum limit for Direct Messages in a single day. Sign up for Twitter Blue to continue messaging.”
The screenshot was uploaded by Twitter user Alessandro Paluzzi, who described himself as a “mobile developer” and “leaker”. Paluzzi is also the developer behind WA Tweaker, a mobile application for Android rooted devices that allow users to enable hidden features on WhatsApp.
According to its platform guidelines, Twitter has a limit of 500 messages per day for DMs. The move is intended to “alleviate some strains” on Twitter’s back-end processes and potentially reduce downtime and error pages.
According to the screenshot shared by the leaker, after reaching the limit, non-Twitter Blue users will receive a message titled "Get verified to send more messages".
"You've hit the maximum limit for Direct Messages in a single day. Sign up for Twitter Blue to continue messaging," the message reads.
Furthermore, the leaker said that currently the limit is 500 DMs per day, but "I bet this limit will be reduced when this will be rolled out".
Twitter-owner Elon Musk on Monday said that the platform will "hopefully" roll out a new update this week, which will limit the ability to send DMs to people who don't follow you to Blue users.
Last week, Musk had said that Twitter will soon start paying creators on the platform for the ads served in their replies.
