Elon Musk has recently shared some updates about the changes people can expect on Twitter soon.
For starters, claims the billionaire longer tweets coming soon but he failed to say exactly when it would be. There were a few details that painted a picture of how the tweets wouldn’t work the way we had expected.
The news comes to us thanks to Jane Manchun who used reverse engineering to decipher how the elongated filaments began to form. So in-app thread readers will continue to read longer tweets in each thread. It’s just how things currently work. And for us, we think this shift is moving forward for creators.
Wong noticed how the app is making sure its Tweet composer works properly when it reaches the 280 character limit. In case you start posting longer threads, the app will start reducing them.
The advantage is that you don’t have to keep pressing the + button every time a tweet exceeds the standard limit that has been set. So as you can imagine, it will be a great addition for those who want to add more characters.
We’ll also see end-to-end encryption DMs transformed into something that’s more secure as it starts rolling out on Twitter soon. Right now, we’re not too sure if it will be part of the current Twitter Blue subscription plan that stands at $8.
Next, we’re hearing a lot of news about how Twitter’s verification plan is getting stricter, and by that we mean more rules for account holders to follow in order to get the verified token. Before we forget to add, the Twitter app is reactivating Blue payment plans on November 29, so keep an eye out for that.
No wonder the Blue subscription has really had the roughest start of all. There were so many incidents that were not only high profile but also quite shocking across the world.
News of the tougher rules was announced on the Twitter About page for Blue subscribers. He mentioned how those accounts that were not older than 90 days would not be able to take advantage of the offer. And we think it’s a good idea that was a very valid point presented by an expert in The Verge media.
Mitchell Clark says people would still try to attack the app by creating new accounts and keeping them for a 90-day period and then verifying it to get around the rule.
We’ve seen Elon Musk openly comment on the various ways the app can combat attempts to impersonate public figures or brands on the app. At the moment, none of these ideas have been written down or set in stone. But over time, we’ve noticed how Twitter has really taken people on a wild ride, thanks to Elon Musk’s new leadership.
