Twitter Rolls Out Advanced DM Keyword Search (And why it is essential for you)

What is Twitter?

Twitter is a social networking platform launched in 2006 and has grown to be one of the most famous social media websites today. With more than 100 million daily users and at least 500 million tweets each day, Twitter has become an essential tool for individuals, governments, and agencies.

The platform is known to introduce chains of new features to stay on top of the social networking game. This blog mentions Twitter’s latest development, advanced DM keyword search, and a lot more.

What’s The Advanced DM Keyword Search Feature All About?

Besides being a social platform, Twitter is widely used to share news updates and tutorials through short messages known as Tweets. Thousands of businesses use the platform as a marketing tool to target new and current clients.

Users report that Twitter is easy to use and has essential features that make communication easier. It’s also optimized for mobile and desktop devices to enhance user experience.

These important features explain why Twitter has gained massive popularity through the years.

Since direct messages are an essential feature among social media users, Twitter announced that it would test and roll out an advanced tool for direct messages in January.

On 23rd March 2022, Twitter officially launched the option to search direct messages using keywords.

With this tool, users will be able to search all their DMs for specific keywords, hashtags, or mentions on their chats. The company believes that this would make it easier to trace conversations for easier communication on the platform.

This came after many users reported challenges related to finding people and groups in their DMs. Recently, users could only find conversations based on the usernames of those involved.

As such, it’s safe to mention that this advanced search tool would put a smile on many users’ faces.

What Is the Feature Good for?

Businesses and other organizations will be able to take their operations a notch higher. Corporations pitching new clients on Twitter can follow up on the performance of their marketing campaigns by searching for previous conversations.

The search features will also be essential when going back to old, important discussions and taking notes of key points. This implies that it’ll save time by making it easier to collect data.

What’s Next?

Twitter has listed down many features it would like to release soon. However, the process has always been slow because developers are more focused on strengthening the already available tools. Here are some of the things to expect in the next few months;

Twitter Flock

With Twitter Flock, users with many followers will be able to create and share content with close friends. With this feature, users will be able to create, publish content, and share with a maximum of 150 users, enhancing privacy.

Twitter Articles

This feature was suggested by Jane Manchun and will help Twitter test longer-form articles. Not much is known about this important feature, but it’s believed that Twitter Articles will allow for more characters than what is currently available.

Edit Button

According to Twitter’s VP of consumer product Jay Sullivan, an edit function has been Twitter’s most requested new feature. On April 1st 2022, Twitter hinted that they are finally working on the edit button, and we should expect them to launch in the coming months.

Apart from that, the company is working on many other features that will be out before late 2022. These new developments and features make Twitter a key player in the social media space.
