Use Threads for long Tweets
Twitter initially had a tough 144 characters cap on Tweets, But ever since the limit was lifted to 240 Characters, we’re optimistic that support for 480 characters will soon be on the launch pad since pro users now use Threads and external links for long Tweets.
Well, the next time you want to Tweet something long, do it the professionals way, simply tap the + sign whenever you’re composing a Tweet whether on Mobile or desktop to create a threaded Tweet.
