Twitter will soon allow users to include more content in their tweets, even without increasing the platform’s 140-character limit.
Twitter will soon allow users to include more content in their tweets, even without increasing the platform’s 140-character limit. Specifically, Twitter announced four new features coming to the platform over the coming months, including two tweaks to the way a tweet’s character count is measured.
First, @names will no longer count toward the 140-character limit, so users can add more words to their replies without removing usernames from a conversation.
In addition, media attachments such as photos, GIFs, videos, polls and quote tweets will no longer count toward a tweet’s character limit.
