Twitter announced the launch of a new Max character through both their main account and the Blue Twitter profile. The last one shared this:
“need more than 280 characters to express yourself?
we know a lot of you do this…and while we love good topics, sometimes you I just want to tweet all at once. we figured it out.
that's why we're introducing longer tweets! you want to check it out. tap it 👉”
Who can tweet up to 4000 characters?
When accessed, writing 4000-character tweets is limited to Twitter Blue subscribers in the US at launch, anyone can read them.
Fortunately, the 280-character limit will still apply when viewing tweets on your timeline, you you'll have to click the “Show More” link for those using the new long form option to read the entire tweet.
Immediate Chaos
Meanwhile, the main Twitter account has led to the following announcement:
“more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words more words” ;
