Adding media features to every tweet is nothing new. But combining them all together in one tweet is not something most users are used to.
Twitter is giving users the ability to incorporate photos, GIFs, videos and more into a single post on the platform. And it’s safe to say that this option has never been widely seen until now.
news went public on Wednesday, when the company talked about a feature that was slowly rolling out to small groups in July, but now, it’s up for grabs for everyone while tweeting.
In the past, you could only merge a few images, a single video, or a GIF. But with the new usage change, one tweet can have it all. It’s like a mix of different media features combined.
More details were explained by the company today via a blog post. They stated that such changes have created more opportunities. Users will be allowed to express themselves better through this social network.
The company says they are always looking for some of the most exciting ways to make creators better and more satisfied with what they are happy with. By mixing all types of visual content into one post, creators have the opportunity to go over the 280 character limit. In this way, they are more inclined to tell their vision or story better.
There isn’t much that any user needs to know about adding mixed media to their tweets. Just select your images, GIFs and videos that you want to share. And believe it or not, that’s it!
But wait, here you will face some limitations. The app says users will only be allowed to include 4 media features per post. Moreover, this new option will be available in the official app that is designed for iOS and Android users. And this will be seen by anyone, even those casually browsing the desktop.
Before we forget, there are a number of features available in the app. Twitter has been on a rollercoaster ride regarding its deal with Elon Musk. But they are still doing well in terms of staying on track.
The app finally included the edit Tweet button for Blue subscribers. Similarly, users can finally enjoy full-screen vertical viewing of all forms of video content through their phones.
