Twitter rants are set to grow bigger. The microblogging site’s character limit might soon expand to 1000 characters from its previous limit of just 280 characters.
Twitter was referred to as a “microblogging service” mainly due to its limit of 140 characters for its tweets. Eventually, the limit was increased to 280 characters in 2017. The news was announced on Twitter’s official blog.
The character limit has been one of the prime differences between Twitter and other social media services.
Elon Musk has shown interest in the idea of increasing the character limit on a number of occasions since his takeover of the platform.
On November 27, a Twitter user suggested to Musk to increase the platform’s word limit from 280 to 420.
“Good idea” Musk wrote in response.
