Twitter Removes 140 Character Limit From Direct Messages

Twitter has announced the removal of its 140 character limit from Direct Messages starting today.

While Twitter is largely a public experience, Direct Messages let you have private conversations about the memes, news, movements, and events that unfold on Twitter. Each of the hundreds of millions of Tweets sent across Twitter every day is an opportunity for you to spark a conversation about what’s happening in your world. That’s why we’ve made a number of changes to Direct Messages over the last few months. Today’s change is another big step towards making the private side of Twitter even more powerful and fun.




The change is rolling out starting today on iOS and Android, as well as, twitter.com, TweetDeck, and Twitter for Mac. It will continue to roll out worldwide over the next few weeks.

You can download Twitter from the App Store for free.
