Twitter has finally and officially removed the 140-character limit on direct messages, allowing people to send huge, long private messages to one another.
The network says that the new limitless DMs are intended to make “the private side of Twitter even more powerful and fun”. Tweets have the same character limit, and that won’t be removed.
“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,” the site said, announcing the change.
Twitter has been making a number of changes to DMs in recent months. It recently rolled out group chats for the platform and the ability to send direct messages to people they don’t follow.
The change is being rolled out to the apps for Android and iOS, TweetDeck and Twitter for Mac as well as Twitter.com. “It will continue to roll out worldwide over the next few weeks,” the company said in a blog post.
