Twitter has been adding interesting new functions to the popular social network for a few weeks, although the one it has released today is the one that will raise the most controversy. Tweets arrive with a voice, and as we have seen in the first reactions, not everyone is liking it.

At the moment they are only available in the iOS app, through an update that you can already download. But we assume that they will not take long to reach Android.

In this GIF that the social network itself has published in its official account, you can see how they work. Sending a tweet with voice is as simple as recording the audio and sending it, similar to how we do it on WhatsApp and the like.

As we can see, from now on when we write a tweet, a new sound wave button will appear on the Twitter interface. By touching it, we will access the function to record the voice.

We tap the record button, talk, and tap again to stop recording. It will automatically be added to the tweet to send as a standard message.

From what you can see in the GIF, the audio will not play automatically, as is logical. You will have to tap on the thumbnail to hear it. 

The idea has not been liked by everyone, who criticizes that the social network loses its status as text chat, but it is not very different from sending a video, which has been available for a long time. On the other hand, many users are asking that they also include this option in private direct messages.

In recent weeks, Twitter has released important new features. For example, the option to schedule the publication of tweets or a button to limit who can reply to you.

We will see the success of these new tweets with voice ...
