Twitter voice messages appear in more countries.

It looks like Twitter is rolling out its voice messages via DM feature to more markets this month. Twitter users in US and across Europe have been noticing a new popup message to promote voice messages in DMs, which allows you to send people private recorded voice notes. Twitter first started testing this in India in 2021 and the expansion comes just as Twitter gets encrypted DMs.

If you get this popup in a DM then it’s enabled in your country.

Twitter bought a job recruiting site.

It’s the company’s first known purchase under Elon Musk, who is said to have spent “tens of millions” worth of cash and stock on the deal.

The service, Laskie, was founded by Chris Bakke, who previously sold another recruiting startup to Indeed. There’s no word on what Twitter plans to do with Laskie (though seven employees have reportedly come on board), but there’s plenty of speculation around Musk’s desire to make Twitter into an “everything app.”
