Twitter sets a limit to the number of DMs an unverified user can send

Changes have become a regular occurrence on Twitter lately. Perhaps the most significant change since Elon Musk’s acquisition of the company is the latest rebranding, where X is set to replace the blue bird. While soon the iconic bird might no longer fly around the web, sharing tweets, it is still here and brings some updates.

 
Twitter (or X, as we might soon call it) limits the number of DMs unverified accounts can send. According to the company, this change aims at reducing spam in Direct Messages. So, if you don’t have a paid account, you will have a daily limit for sending out DMs. And if you don’t want to experience this limitation, the option is for you to subscribe to Twitter Blue.

The rebranding of the platform is another move by Musk to transform the company into a profitable one. We could expect X to introduce further changes to encourage unpaid subscriptions to convert into paid ones. With the bird gone, the rebranded platform can start afresh with a new vision, purpose, and features. Unlike unverified accounts, there seem to be no limitations set for Musk and his team’s imagination.
