Twitter to work on DMs' end-to-end encryption again
Twitter has been going under some changes for a long time now except for huge layoffs and critics, some other improvements also take place.
Elon Musk has no intention to stop about making changes on Twitter. Ever since the Tesla CEO took over the platform many changes started to happen including good and bad ones. Although it looks like things are not exactly going well at Twitter company is still working on some good features.

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) for direct messages appears to be another project in the works.
The researcher Jane Manchun Wong discovered that the Twitter Android app contains code that indicates that E2EE is on its way for DMs. By responding to Wong's tweet with a winking emoji, Musk added fuel to the fire. This is a strong indication that E2EE is indeed being developed for direct messages. "Twitter DMs should have end to end encryption like Signal, so no one can spy on or hack your messages," Musk wrote shortly after making a formal offer to buy Twitter in April, indicating that E2EE is clearly a topic that interests him. E2EE for direct messages has already been looked into by Twitter before, so this is not the first time.
