SAN FRANCISCO ― Twitter said that its Blue subscribers can now tweet in a longer form of up to 4,000 characters, from the regular 280 characters limit.
The microblogging site is banking on this new feature to attract more users to sign up for its subscription which costs $8 a month for Android users and $11 for iPhone users.
The social media company further noted that while only the Blue subscribers can enjoy long-form tweeting, every Twitter user can read the long-form tweets.
Users will see only the first 280 characters on the timeline, and if they want to read more, they can click on “Show more”.
