New Delhi: Twitter has increased the tweet length limit for Twitter Blue customers in the US to 4,000. This is over 14 times the previous limit (280-characters) for Twitter Blue users in the US. The current 280-character limit is still in effect for all non-subscribers and Twitter Blue users outside the United States.
“Sometimes you just need more words. Longer tweets are now live for US Twitterblue customers,” the microblogging site tweeted.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk confirmed in December that the micro-blogging platform would increase the tweet character limit from 280 to 4,000.
It all started when a user asked Musk, “Elon is it true that Twitter is ready to increase from 280 to 4000 characters?”
To this Musk replied, ‘Yes’.

Many users expressed their views on Musk’s post.
Where one user said, “This would be a big mistake. The purpose of Twitter is to give fast news. If this happens, a lot of real information is lost,” another commented, “4000? This is an essay, tweet No.”
