Fun Fact: Why 280 Characters?
Twitter initially allowed only 140 characters because it mirrored the SMS text limit of mobile networks. In 2017, the limit expanded to 280 for all users — allowing more expressive and complete thoughts while still keeping tweets short and to the point.
Bonus: X Premium Extended Post Limits
With X Premium, users can post up to 25,000 characters per tweet. This update allows for long-form content directly on the platform, combining the simplicity of tweets with the flexibility of blog-style writing.
