Twitter is finally going to offer encrypted messaging. According to
TechCrunch, the feature is visible in the latest Android application package, or APK, which suggests that it will be launching soon.
Twitter’s encrypted messaging feature, first spotted by
Jane Manchun Wong, still looks a little rough—there’s a tab with filler text that reads “Education on what an encrypted conversation is”—but a lot of it looks pretty standard. There’s an option to start a new encrypted conversation, as well as one to verify the encryption keys of the participants in the conversation.
