Feb 16, 2018 The Mac app still hadn't been updated to support 280 characters when I finally ditched it a couple weeks ago (in favor of Tweetbot). If they couldn't push out a change like that in 3 months, the app has probably not been maintained for quite a while. Create campaign. To create a social post, follow these steps.

Tweet with 280 characters. Twitter for Android’s mobile interface is easy to navigate and provides all of the service’s standard functions. When you open the app, there are three screens displayed. From the main page, it is easy to follow and unfollow other users, tweet, and retweet from your feed. Nov 07, 2017 Twitter's 280-character tweet testing period has come to an end. In every language save for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, users will have 280 characters to work with — up from 140. Dec 19, 2019 With only 280 characters to tweet, cramming multiple hashtags into your tweet leaves you with less room for your real message and just looks spammy. Use Twitter trending topics to find hot and current hashtags. In the left sidebar of your home feed on Twitter.com or in the search tab of the Twitter mobile app, you'll see a list of trending.
- Nov 08, 2017 Tweetbot — naturally — shared the news in a tweet today about the latest available version of its iOS app that supports the 280 character limit. In fact, the ability to use all 280 characters.
- Jun 04, 2020 Open Twitter in another tab and compose a second tweet. Type the same Twitter handle and counter, but this time, change the numbers to '2/3'. Then, paste the text, again making sure you're within 280 characters.
Twitter on Tuesday brought a doubled 280-character limit on tweets out of limited testing, making the change official across most countries where the social network operates.
In announcing the move, Twitter product manager Aliza Rosen downplayed concerns about massive tweets cluttering feeds, noting that while about 9 percent of English tweets hit the 140-character limit, only 1 percent of tweets hit the expanded limit during testing. Instead, people simply posted faster because they didn't have to whittle down text, Rosen said.
Roughly 5 percent of posts were longer than 140 characters, and just 2 percent were over 190, she added. People who did have more room to write are said to have picked up extra likes, retweets, mentions, and followers, and spent on more time on Twitter.
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean tweets will continue to be limited to 140 characters because those languages are more expressive, Twitter said. A single character can often represent a complete thought.
Twitter has struggled to meaningfully grow its user base in the past couple of years, and has adopted a variety of tactics, including taking a tougher stance on harassment.
More recently the company has been implicated as a target for Russian influence during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently appeared on NBC to discuss the issue, saying that political ads were less significant than fabricated news stories. Apple curates its own news in the form of the Apple News app.

As Twitter continues to grow as an essential platform for real-time conversations, the company is adding new ways to share your thoughts and opinions. We recently saw it rollout Instagram Stories-like ‘Fleets’ feature in India. And now, Twitter is testing out audio tweets with iOS users. Yeah, audio tweets where you can record a message and share it with your followers.
“Sometimes 280 characters aren’t enough and some conversational nuances are lost in translation. So starting today, we’re testing a new feature that will add a more human touch to the way we use Twitter – your very own voice,” says the official blog post.
The things you weren’t able to say in 280 characters or required creating a thread can now be shared via 140 seconds (2 minutes and 20 seconds) of audio. If you are an iOS user, you should see a new ‘waveform’ icon next to the camera icon in the tweet compose window. Tapping this icon will show your profile icon with a record button. I believe you know what to do next.
You can Tweet a Tweet. But now you can Tweet your voice!

Twitter has given a brief look at how the feature works in the introductory tweet above. But, I would like to tell you that you don’t need to record an audio tweet in one go. You can pause the recording, think over what you want to say next, and continue on. It also lets you add text to audio tweets before sharing it with everyone, possibly to give some context. It’s not mandatory though.
The audio tweet feature seems to be rolling out in batches and not everyone will have it right away. My colleague Akshay does not see the audio recording option in the Twitter app on his iPhone XR. Still, here’s an example of how these tweets look and behave.

All audio tweets, as Twitter mentions in its help center, will include your current profile photo as a static image on your audio. It will not refresh if you update your profile photo. If iOS users play and audio tweet, they will see an audio playing dock – similar to most streaming services – at the bottom. They can continue to listen to an audio tweet and scroll through the feed simultaneously.

The audio tweets feature is not available to Android users just yet. They will have the audio tweet to listen to it in fullscreen mode – same as videos on the platform. There is no info on when the feature will make its way to Android just yet.
