Finally, Twitter has officially removed the character limit from direct messages. The update, which is rolling out starting today, means that you can now send long messages in their direct message feature. This will also roll out on third-party apps.
Last July, Twitter announced that they will extend the limit to 10,000 characters but the company is marketing the change to ‘unlimited’ length. We will double check as soon as we can.
The update is now available in iOS, Android and for desktop apps. So if you’ve ever tried typing a long story or sending an epic love quotes to your boyfriend and girlfriend but stopped by the character limit in the past, you should do it now.
