The character limit on Twitter set to increase from 280 to 1000.

Micro-blogging site Twitter is all set to increase its current limit of merely 280 characters, site’s character limit may soon increase to 1000 characters. In response to a user’s suggestion, CEO Elon Musk hinted to the update. It’s on the to-do list, Musk said in his post. A Mashable report claims that Twitter’s 140-character character limit for tweets is the key reason it is referred to as a “microblogging service.” In the end, the character limit was raised to 280 in 2017.

The announcement was made on the Twitter blog. The official Twitter site stated that although “many individuals Tweeted the full 280 restrictions because it was new and unique, behavior shortly after normalized…….We noticed when people needed to utilise more than 140 characters, they Tweeted more readily and more frequently.”

One of the main distinctions between Twitter and other social media platforms has been the character limit. According to a Mashable report, Musk has expressed interest in expanding the character limit several times since he took control of the site.

A Twitter user suggested to Musk on November 27 that the platform’s word limit be raised from 280 to 420. “Good concept,” Musk replied in his reply. Another poster had recommended “getting rid of character restrictions” before that. The multi-billionaire answered, “Absolutely.”

Musk recently revealed a multi-colored verification system as yet another significant upgrade to the platform. The previous “Twitter Blue” service, which had to be discontinued days after its launch due to the rising number of accounts impersonating well-known brands and personalities while carrying the “verified” check, would be replaced by the three-colored system.
