Twitter announced on Thursday that Blue subscribers in the US can now write lengthy tweets on the microblogging network with up to 4,000 characters.
“Starting today, if you’re subscribed to Twitter Blue in the US, you can create longer tweets,” the company wrote in a message on its @TwitterBlue account.

“Most standard functions of Tweeting still apply, whether you want to post a picture, use a hashtag, or create a poll. But now you can type all the way up to 4,000 characters.”
However, for now, longer tweets on the web cannot be saved as drafts or scheduled to be sent later.
“We know longer tweets could mean a lot of scrolling, so they’ll be capped at 280 characters on your timeline and you’ll see a ‘Show more’ prompt to click and read the whole tweet,” it added.

Non-subscribers can read, comment, retweet, and quote Tweets, but only Blue subscribers can submit longer Tweets.
The company added that Blue users would also be able to reply and quote a longer tweet of up to 4,000 characters.
Before, tweets could only be 280 characters long; this restriction still stands for users who are not subscribers.
