Twitter will now allow users to receive direct messages from anyone

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Twitter is making a big change in its direct messaging feature, allowing users the option to receive direct messages from any other Twitter user.</p> <p>Previously, Twitter (http://www.imore.com/twitter) only allowed for direct messages to be sent to people who followed each other on the service. Now users can make a change in their settings to allow anyone to message them. This option is opt-in only, so you don't have to do anything if you want to keep things the way they are. <!--break--> Here's the full list of changes that are being made for the direct messenger feature on Twitter:</p>

<ul><li>A setting that allows you to receive Direct Messages from anyone, even if you don't follow them.</li> <li>Updated messaging rules so you can reply to anyone who sends you a Direct Message, regardless of whether or not that person follows you.</li> <li>A new Direct Message button on profile pages on Android and iPhone. You'll see it on the profiles of people you can send Direct Messages to.</li> </ul>

<p>The company said today it has even more plans to improve direct messages on the service in the future.</p> <p>Source: Twitter (https://blog.twitter.com/2015/easier-than-ever-to-have-private-conversations)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/459117d4/sc/15/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
