But since it’s a custom implementation, you can be pretty sure that app developers will not make use of this till Google officially rolls out support for pressure-sensitive screens....

Back in November 2013, there were some talks about Twitter mulling to encrypt DMs and implement other security measures, but yesterday, it was reported that Twitter is giving up on encrypted messages. Though we don’t know the exact reason for abandoning the project, it’s interesting that they have stopped including the DM in plain text for email notifications....
