Twitter’s 140-character limit remains intact, but the social network continues to introduce ways for users to pack more into those 140 characters, with Thursday’s update focused on replies.
Product manager Sasank Reddy announced in a blog post that starting Thursday, when users reply to other users or groups, their @usernames will no longer count against the 140-character limit.
The update is rolling out Thursday for iOS, Android and the web.
Last Sept. 19, Twitter introduced an update under which photos, videos, GIFs, polls and quote tweets no longer counted toward its 140-character limit.
