Twitter Voice Note, a new audio feature on Twitter is now available for select users on iOS.
With the Twitter Voice Note or audio clip, users have the option to add 140-second audio clips to tweets.
Writing a blog post on the new Twitter Voice Note, Maya Patterson and Rémy Bourgoin wrote: “Sometimes 280 characters aren’t enough and some conversational nuances are lost in translation.
“So starting today, we’re testing a new feature that will add a more human touch to the way we use Twitter — your very own voice.”
Explaining how to use the audio clip feature, the duo added: “Tweeting with your voice is not too different from Tweeting with text.
“To start, open the Tweet composer and tap the new icon with wavelengths. You’ll see your profile photo with the record button at the bottom – tap this to record your voice.
You can Tweet a Tweet. But now you can Tweet your voice!
Rolling out today on iOS, you can now record and Tweet with audio. pic.twitter.com/jezRmh1dkD

“Each voice Tweet captures up to 140 seconds of audio. Have more to say? Keep talking.
“Once you reach the time limit for a Tweet, a new voice Tweet starts automatically to create a thread. Once you’re done, tap the Done button to end your recording and go back to the composer screen to Tweet.
“People will see your voice Tweet appear on their timeline alongside other Tweets. To listen, tap the image.
“On iOS only, playback will start in a new window docked at the bottom of your timeline and you can listen as you scroll. You can also keep listening while doing other things on your phone or on the go.”
However, the Twitter Voice Note is only for original tweets and cannot be used for replies.
Some users who have the new audio feature have started tweeting or sharing their voice notes.

Meanwhile, Android users have to wait for the Twitter Voice Note as there is no word on when the feature will come to the Google-owned operating system.
