Twitter Increases Direct Message Limit To 10,000 Characters. Micro-blogging platform Twitter on Thursday said it has increased the direct message (DM) limit to 10,000 characters from the existing 140, enabling the users to send longer private messages to friends.

Micro-blogging platform Twitter on Thursday said it has increased the direct message (DM) limit to 10,000 characters from the existing 140, enabling the users to send longer private messages to friends.

“Twitter has eliminated the 140-character limit for DM, and users can now exchange messages privately of up to 10,000 characters, with the idea being that direct messages should seem limitless. Twitter aims to improve users’ messaging experience to give them the real estate to express themselves more freely and getting rid of the 140 character limit is just another step in that direction,” the company said in a statement.

Earlier this year, the company had launched group direct messages, where multiple users could chat and any user could message another privately.

The update will be available to all users worldwide, who log into Twitter.com, TweetDeck and Twitter-owned-and-operated applications.

The company said it will support reading and writing long DMs for Android, Twitter for Mac and TweetDeck.

Mobile web users will be able to receive long DMs, but not send them.
