Twitter Limits Daily Direct Messages for Unverified Users
TECHDIGEST- Twitter has announced that it is limiting the number of daily direct messages that unverified users can send. The change went into effect on Friday, and is intended to help reduce the number of spam messages that users receive.
To increase the number of daily messages allowed, Twitter is prodding users to subscribe to Twitter Blue, a subscription service that it launched last year. Benefits of Twitter Blue include showing up higher in replies and appearing in Twitter’s “For You” feed.

Last week, Twitter also said that it was adding a message setting that would send messages from people users follow to their primary inboxes. Messages from verified users that the person doesn’t follow would be sent to the request inbox. Twitter Support said there has been a 70% reduction in the number of spam messages showing up in users’ private inbox since the change.
Twitter said that it is “ongoing” to fight spam and that it will “continue to make changes” to make the platform better for everyone.
