Twitter is testing a new approach on iOS, to send direct messages (DMs) that includes allowing users to slip into your inbox via a link in your tweets, rather than using the DM button on your profile. The site claims that this would make it easy to "start a discussion" from your timeline, but you can surely see how badly this may go.
Offering a shortcut to your DMs, as public defender Eliza Orlins puts out, might render users even more vulnerable to abuse. Instead of needing to go to your profile to access your mailbox, users may send a private message without ever leaving the timeline (and just as easily as they could reply to your tweet). It's difficult to say who this tool might help – close friends would desire a quick method to DM each other.
He also added that people feel happy sending a message to a friend's Twitter profile or simply continuing an existing chat from their email. Giving users a shortcut to a person's private messages could lead to a slew of issues. Because Twitter recognizes that unpleasant DMs may be an issue, it launched a tool in 2019 that automatically filters out abusive DMs. While Twitter did launch a Messenger-style pop-up tab on the web in 2020, it makes sense since, unlike the new DM button.
It doesn't provide you a shortcut to DM someone in direct reaction to a tweet; instead, it lets you chose from your current conversations (or type in the username of the person you want to DM). If the new DM button makes it out of testing, it's unclear if users will be able to turn the function off for safety and privacy concerns.
