Long text sharing coming soon to Twitter

Long text sharing is coming soon to Twitter. Elon Musk reports this.

Twitter will soon offer a feature that allows users to add long texts to their tweets. This was announced last weekend by the new owner and CEO of the company Elon Musk. The multibillionaire hasn’t said when the feature will be available, but he promises it will put an end to the “notepad screenshot nonsense.”

Elon Musk added that the company also intends to work on additional monetization tools and improvements to the platform’s search functionality. “Twitter search reminds me of 1998 Infoseek! Everything will be fine soon,” he wrote.

After Elon Musk’s statement, NBC News journalist Ben Collins recalled that Twitter was testing the long text sharing function long before the American multibillionaire came to power. “He’s taking responsibility for a number of projects from employees he’s fired since then,”he said. Indeed, at the beginning of the year, researcher Jane Manchun Wong, an expert in research on experimental features in apps, discovered traces of a feature called “Articles”that allows for long posts.

This Saturday, Twitter also began setting up some of the infrastructure needed to support the upgraded Twitter Blue subscription. The service will allow users who pay $8 a month to certify their account and access a number of additional features, including the ability to post longer videos and see fewer ads. Elon Musk promised a while back that Twitter would work to support content creators, but didn’t go into details. Since the company’s takeover, several high-profile users have left Twitter, including Nibellion, owner of one of the most popular gaming news accounts on the platform.

Twitter will soon add the ability to attach long text to tweets, doing away with absurd notepad screenshots.
