A small group of writers are testing the long-form feature, and Twitter does not provide any other information regarding its larger roll-out.
Currently, the firm limits tweets to 280 characters, a feature it started experimenting with almost five years ago.
Users were shocked when Twitter announced in April that it will soon start testing a new edit option, which it referred to as “the most requested feature for many years.”
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and the richest man in the world, is currently purchasing the business for $44 billion.

Additionally, Twitter today revealed the formation of a brand-new Twitter Write team with the goal of creating tools for readers. The business is combining its newsletter subscribers into Twitter Write, which is now the name it’s using to include all of its long-form writing initiatives, including Notes and newsletters.
The Write team’s attention will be on enhancing writers’ Twitter experiences. The social media behemoth points out that their definition of writers encompasses a wide range of professions, including journalism, blogging, newsletter publishing, humor writing, content creation, social media community management, poetry, screenwriting, and more.
