Twitter removes the limitation to 140 characters in private messages, said project Manager Direct Messages in Twitter Sachin Agarwal. Now the limit for private messages is 10,000 characters. Innovation will come into force after the update app service for iOS, Android, Mac and TweetDeck and the web interface.
The change only applies to personal messages that are not visible to anyone except the two parties to the correspondence. “You may be wondering what this means for public Twitter side. Nothing! The tweets will remain the same length in 140 characters”, — stated in the message of Sachin Agarwal.
