Twitter’s 140-character limit exemptions are live
Twitter makes it easier to add more content into a 140-character tweet

MANILA, Philippines – Twitter is making good on reports earlier this month that it would exempt certain media and actions from being counted toward its 140-character limit. 

The company on Monday, September 19 (September 20, Manila time), said in a tweet that “photos, videos, GIFs, polls, and Quote Tweets no longer count toward your 140 characters.”

The move will likely be praised those who, despite having an affinity for the social media service, feel a bit constrained by how the service used to count characters on a tweet.

Twitter announced plans to ease its 140-character limit in May. –  Rappler.com
