Twitter again expanded the character range for tweets. The social network confirmed that a maximum of 4,000 characters will now be allowed for those who pay for the subscription of Twitter Blue.
This is the largest limit the app has had since its creation. Initially, users could only post 140 tweets and in 2017 it was expanded to 280, which will be the margin that people who pay for the premium service will have.
The announcement was made by the platform itself, taking advantage of this extension and explaining some details of the novelty that is now available.
“Twitter is still Twitter. We know that longer Tweets can involve a lot of scrolling, so they will be limited to 280 characters in the timeline and a “Show More” prompt will appear to click through and read the full Tweet.”
Twitter Blue subscribers now have the benefit of tweeting up to 4,000 characters.
How will the expansion of tweets be?
Although many users use the threads to tell long stories, for some users this format is not comfortable and this option opens up as a possibility to create more extensive and easy-to-read content.
Although the publication of tweets of up to 4,000 characters will only be available to those who pay for the premium version, anyone can read, reply, retweet and like them as with any content.
While saving them as drafts or scheduling them to publish them later will not be possible, so when creating them you must be sure to send them or save them on another platform because internally it will not be possible.

Few Twitter Blue subscribers
This novelty is added to the package of benefits that subscribers of the platform’s premium service have, such as uploading videos in 1080p quality, having verification, comfortable reading formats for threads, among others.
However, according to The Information Only 0.2% of the users of the social network are paying for this subscription, that is, close to 290,000 people, taking into account that the application has 250 million users.
Much of this small number of subscribers are from the United States, 180,000 in total, where the service began. Which represents one of the problems of Twitter Blue, because it is barely available on United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Spain.
