We all use Twitter, but not many of us aer aware of the changes that this micro blogging platform keeps making to its interface simply for making life of its users better. For instance, now they have tweaked their Direct Messages feature’s setting a bit to allow users to have a private Twitter conversation without even following them.

The idea behind this move is simple: Allow twitteratis to have private one-on-one conversations with a chosen group of people on topics that they don’t like to discuss in public.

Earlier, to send a Direct Message to anyone, you’d have to ask them to follow you first. Not now. However, to receive Direct Messages from anyone, you should change your settings by following these instructions.
