As turbulent as things are with Twitter Blue and its perks, we can’t say that the platform is not adding more features to the subscription service. Not too long ago, Twitter increased the character limit to a whopping 10,000 per tweet. Now, according to a new report, Twitter may eventually let you add pictures in the middle of your long tweets.
Twitter has been increasing the current limit for tweets over the past several years, but it really exploded in just the past year. After Elon Musk took over, the character limit jumped up from 280 to 4,000 characters. After that, it increased again to 10,000 characters. Why write a hot take when you can write a full article?
Not only that, but Twitter also allows Blue users to use bold and italic fonts for their tweets. This all lets people add a lot more personality to their tweets rather than having to cut them short. While all the drama is still going on with the blue check mark, this is at least a little bit of good news.
Twitter may let you add pictures in the middle of your long tweets
This information comes to us from Jane Manchun Wong on Twitter. The tweet has a screenshot of a tweet actively being written. In it, we see a couple of images being pasted directly into the tweet with text in between them.

So, your tweets will probably resemble actual blog posts rather than short thoughts. Looking at the interface itself, it almost appears to have been taken from a computer rather than a smartphone. We’ll have to wait and see if that’s the case. If so, then this feature may be available to desktop users before mobile users.
On the bottom right-hand corner of the top image, we see the edit icon, which means that you will also be able to edit your pictures just like with regular tweets.
Right now, there’s no telling when or if this feature will ever make it to the public. Twitter is currently operating with a heavily diminished crew and with a ton of drama overhead. We will just have to wait and see what happens
