In a tweet posted this morning, Elon Musk listed several changes to Twitter’s user interface
New Delhi:
Twitter is gearing up for major changes to the interface and could launch a long-form text feature as early as February, the platform’s CEO Elon Musk announced today.
In a tweet posted this morning, Mr Musk listed a number of changes to Twitter’s user interface that would be introduced soon.
“Easy Swipe Right/Left to Move Between Recommended vs. Followed Tweets Rolls Out Later This Week. First Part of a Much Bigger UI Overhaul. Bookmark Button (De Facto Silent Like) on Tweet Details One Week Later Rolls out to long form tweets in early February,” he tweeted.
The Twitter CEO had announced in November that the platform would soon allow users to post long-form text in their tweets, which now has a character limit of 280.
“Twitter will soon add the ability to attach long-form text to Tweets, ending the absurdity of Notepad screenshots,” he said at the time.
The changes announced today would be the latest in a series of changes since Mr Musk took over the microblogging site in a $44 billion deal.
Enabling long form text in Tweets has been a highly contentious issue, with many demanding the feature and others warning that Twitter would cease to be unique if longer posts were allowed.
Those opposing the move also argue that users can currently post in detail using the Threads option and there is no need to remove the cap on characters.
