Twitter Update: Now you can get more space as ‘username’ is no longer counted

Users can now get more space with this new Twitter update. The social media company has finally announced that usernames won’t be counted any longer. A 140-character long tweet now has a BIGGER space.

Twitter was initially counting usernames when replying to a tweet. This often became a trouble as the user has only 140 characters to reply. And the username further shrinks this length making to hard to add a reply.

But not anymore.

Secure you Twitter: Hackers earlier entered some high-profile accounts

On Thursday, the Twitter update was finally rolled out which they promised a year ago. From now on, when you reply to another’s tweet, that person’s username wouldn’t be counted towards the allotted 140-characters.

Earlier, Twitter also shared their plan of expanding characters to 10,000. This news was first broken on Re/Code platform.

140 characters sound less as others have been providing much bigger space. But if analyzed, Twitter has been working smartly:

• No one has time to read long posts just to learn that they have wasted their previous few minutes. Users on the internet usually scan a content and if found interesting, then could read it.
• Less words have often more power than long speeches, only if used wisely.
