What twitter working on feature that allows users to write long-form articles

Discovered by researcher Jane Manchus Wong, Twitter is prepping a feature that allows you to write long-form articles. One of the defining characteristics of Twitter is the 280-character limit, that allows the platform to maintain its image as a microblogging service. While there have been a lot of discussions about whether the limit is too small or not needed at all, it's the unique selling point for the platform, allowing users to quickly glance at information on the go. Twitter tried a new approach for long-form tweets in 2020, allowing users to chain together multiple sweets in a single, continuous thread, but it still maintained the character limit for the tweets. Now it appears Twitter is giving long-form another go and will presumably allow users to pen longer articles. Details are scant so far, but Twitter has confirmed to CNET that it will share more information about Twitter articles soon. If we go by the leaked interface, it looks like long-form articles will reside separately in their own space, and can presumably be attached to a tweet for easy sharing. This could also be an attempt to compete against blogging sites like Medium. It remains to be seen whether the feature will be exclusive to Twitter Blue, the platform's subscription service, which is currently not available in India. Twitter's safety team took it upon themselves to remind users of a few features the company recently introduced, so we thought it would be a good idea to look back at what the blue bird called Larry was up to in 2021. Bird watch twitter kicked things off with Bird watch in January of this year. The pilot program allowed users to flag misleading tweets, write a note for context, and even allowed users to rate the quality of the note. The pilot was launched in the US and is currently under testing. In June 2020, Twitter introduced the ability to send voice tweets, which allowed users to record a 140-second message and send out as a tweet. In February 2021, Twitter expanded this functionality to allow users to send voice messages to anyone via direct messages. 4K Image uploads Twitter trolled  out an option to upload 4K images on iOS and Android. The web version already supported high-resolution 4096x4096 images, but the mobile versions of the Twitter app were capped at a maximum of 2048x2048 image resolution for uploads. Twitter spaces  twitter take as a Clubhouse-like audio chat service,  Spaces has gone through revisions and updates since its inception. Recently, it added an option that enabled users to hear a recording of their Space's session. Images no longer cropped Twitter has now rolled out larger preview images for tweets after the way it cropped, images ran into criticism. The platform will no longer crop image previews, allowing you a full look at the image in the composer before you send out the tweet. Communities Twitter is now testing a Communities feature, that allows people to band together in a group, where they can talk about topics that appeal to one another. Twitter rolled out an option to upload 4K images on iOS and Android. The web version already supported high-resolution 4096x4096 images, but the mobile versions of the Twitter app were capped at a maximum of 2048x2048 image resolution for uploads.
