News Synopsis

Twitter is finally working on a new feature that will allow users to post long-form content on the platform, which currently only allows 280-character posts. Users will be able to create articles using rich formatting and uploaded media, which will then be tweeted and shared with followers once published, according to TechCrunch.

The feature is currently being tested with a small group of users, and the company plans to launch it soon. App researchers such as Jane Manchun Wong discovered the new feature in development, which was previously known as "Twitter Article."

In a recent tweet, app researcher Nima Owji said, "Twitter's new artwork for the "Notes" (Twitter Articles)." Twitter users are currently forced to write long-form content in the form of broken threads, which can be difficult to read.

Aside from writing Twitter threads, users also write long-form content on other apps, save it as a pdf or jpg file, and then screenshot and share it on Twitter.Twitter Notes will solve both issues by allowing users to write long-form articles directly on the platform, according to a report published late Tuesday.

"Like tweets, the Notes would have their own link and could be tweeted, retweeted, sent in direct messages, liked, and bookmarked," the company explained.
