Social media site Twitter may be known for its 140 character limit, but the company has recently announced that Direct Messages will no longer be subjected to that restriction.
Twitter plans to remove the 140 character limit on Direct Messages sometime in July but gave no specific date for the change. While users will soon be able to send longer messages to each other, the public side of Twitter will not be changing.
Tweets will still be subject to the 140 character limit.
