Very good news for micro-blogging fans: Twitter has officially removed the character limit from direct messages.
The change, which will roll out starting today, means you can send messages as long as you want without having to truncate words to avoid exceeding the (split) character limit.
So messages as long as you want from the web, or from any official Twitter application, but also from third-party applications that will need to be updated to add the new feature.
In July, Twitter mentioned a 10,000-character limit in a note to developers, but the company said today that private messages will now be able to have “unlimited” characters.
Twitter also updated its apps for iOS, Android, Twitter for Mac, as well as TweetDeck and Twitter for the Web to allow direct messages, without character restrictions.
The change is just starting to roll out and if you haven't seen it yet, you will see it soon. Patience and Perseverance!
