Twitter will remove 140-character limit
You
will soon be able to send much longer direct messages on Twitter.
The
site plans to remove the 140-character limit on its direct messaging
feature in July, the company revealed in a post
on
its developer forum on Thursday.
A
Twitter spokesperson confirmed to Mashable
the
character limit would be changing sometime in July but declined to
provide more specific timing. The character limit for regular tweets,
which is also 140, will remain in place.
"You
may be wondering what this means for the public side of Twitter,"
Sachin Agarwal, Twitter's product manager for direct messages, wrote
in the post on Thursday. "Nothing! Tweets will continue to be
the 140 characters they are today."
The
move is the latest in a series of major changes the company has made
to direct messages over the past year. Twitter introduced group
messaging features into the service in
January. The network also added an option that
allows users to opt-in
to receive private messages from anyone else on the
service.
Previously,
only users who followed one another could exchange direct messages.
People can opt-in to receiving direct messages from anyone through
"security and privacy" menu in the app's main settings.
