In one of its latest product enhancement announcements, Musk tweeted last week that the microblogging site is working on a solution to automatically convert long-form text into threads, as Twitter allows only 280-characters which makes it challenging for users to compose a long text.

Also, the microblogging site has started working on end-to-end encryption for direct messages (DMs) on Android.

App researcher Jane Manchun Wong tweeted: "Twitter is bringing back end-to-end encrypted DMs."

Musk replied to Wong's tweet with a winked emoji, which indicates that the feature is in development.
