It’s unclear how long it might be before Twitter officially launches the feature, but at least we know it’s been built. Twitter has reportedly devised an encrypted messaging feature for its Android app. The function is included in the coding for the Twitter for Android application package, suggesting it may be undergoing testing, but has not yet been launched. According to a report from TechCrunch, the new app will allow users to send messages using end-to-end encryption and encrypt them with their own private key. The company's CEO Jack Dorsey previously said that an encrypted messaging service was under consideration, following a public request by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
