Tweets no longer have to be just 280 characters

The new feature 'Twitter Notes' will enable users to create articles

Twitter is working on a new feature that will allow users to post long-form content on the platform that currently allows posts with only 280 characters. The new feature 'Twitter Notes' will enable users to create articles using rich formatting and uploaded media, which can then be tweeted and shared with their followers upon publishing. Presently, the feature is being tested with a select group of users, and the company will launch it soon. As of now, Twitter users have to write long-form content in the form of broken threads which may be difficult for people to read. Apart from writing Twitter threads, users also write long-form content on other apps, convert it to a pdf or a jpg file, and then take a screenshot and post it on Twitter.

Twitter Notes will allow users to write long-form articles directly on the platform and save them the hassle. Similar to tweets, the Notes would have their own link and can be tweeted, retweeted, and sent in DM's, liked, and bookmarked. The article URL can also be copied and shared elsewhere, like on another website or sent via email. The tool will be accessible from users' profiles directly to the right of the "Tweets & replies" link and before "Media."
