Twitter, a social networking site launched in 2006, is undoubtedly one of the most popular social media platforms available today, with up to 100 million daily active users and approximately 500 million tweets sent daily.

Elon musk the owner and the CEO of Meta company confirmed yesterday that hes planning to shift the number of characters from 280 to 4000 .

This came after a courageous twitter user asked him whether it was possible to increase the characters to that number and he responded with a yes. 

“Elon is it true that Twitter is set to increase the characters from 280 to 4000?” a Twitter user made a Tweet to the platform’s new owner.“Yes,” Musk responded.

If this happens then there will be a shift from micro blogging format to users writing tweets more than 14  times longer than the current limit.

In order to achieve that a user is set to create a thread and write their comments across multiple consecutive tweets.

Twitter last increased number of characters per tweet in November  2017, from the previous 140 to the current 280.

 It was initially  hard to expand the tweet character limit in languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean because they were already able to say a lot with less characters.

With the yet new character launch,they still wont be affected as they still fit .

As a platform known for brevity and concision, Twitter’s 280 character limit is arguably as much a defining feature of its brand as the little blue bird for which is the website’s iconic logo.
