Do you still remember some time ago when Twitter revealed a serious vulnerability in the Android application to the world? Whose personal information about various users of the platform? Well, although the problem was promptly resolved. It appears that message notifications have finally been removed for a variety of reasons from Twitter.
That said, as of yesterday, many countries have stopped having access to this functionality. And soon, the measure is expected to extend to all users across the world.
Receive Twitter notifications via messages? It is no longer possible!
So, it seems, this feature allowed users to receive all content published on Twitter on their Smartphones without even browsing the social network. That is, although this causes the number of users in the application to grow significantly. On the other hand, it was not profitable for Twitter, due to the fact that they could not display ads in this way.
Thus, the application was nothing more and nothing less to pay for a feature (which we know is not cheap), without having any kind of profit back. And if in fact, you don’t give money, it is best to withdraw it.
In addition, security is also one of the big points that Twitter wants to defend. Since even the CEO’s account, Jack Dorsey was attacked during the past year due to these message notifications. So, if you still use this feature, the best thing would be to start getting used to the change. After all, you will now have to browse the social network to find the content you like best.
In short, it seems that the comfort of users is not always first and sometimes there are things more important than that. But will Twitter lose users due to this measure?
