Twitter Blue subscribers in US can now write 4,000-character tweets

Twitter on Thursday announced that Blue subscribers in the US can now post long tweets of up to 4,000 characters on the micro-blogging platform.

The company posted from its @TwitterBlue account: “Starting today, if you’re subscribed to Twitter Blue in the US you can create longer tweets.

“Most standard functions of Tweeting still apply, whether you want to post a picture, use a hashtag, or create a poll. But now you can type all the way up to 4,000 characters.”

However, for now, longer tweets on the web cannot be saved as drafts or scheduled to be sent later.
