You can now write Twitter posts of up to 4,000 characters

Twitter has announced that the character limit for a single post has been increased to 4000. However, this is only for users with a paid subscription. Furthermore, the feature is currently only available in America.

It turns out that many of the standard features will continue to work for long tweets as well. For example, you can attach images to such tweets, use hashtags, or create polls. But at the moment there is no option to save long tweets as drafts or to schedule them to be sent later on a Twitter web page.

Blue subscribers can also post long tweets as comments or replies to other people's posts. Of course, even those without a paid Twitter subscription can read long tweets, comment on them, reply to them and retweet them for themselves.

It's worth noting that long tweets in the feed look like short tweets, meaning they appear after 280 characters. To read their continuation, you need to click on the "Show more" button.
