You can now privately share a tweet with someone within Direct Messages on Twitter. The social network announced the new feature on its blog today, a little more than a week after promising it was coming at its analyst day. Twitter wants users to seamlessly bring their public conversations into the private sphere without leaving Twitter to do so. Previously, the best way to send a tweet to a friend was to email it to them, or draw their attention to it by publicly mentioning them on the service. The new tool is available as part of an app update for both iOS and Android.

We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
