Twitter Inc users will soon have more flexibility because the company plans to stop counting links and photos as part of its 140-character limit, Bloomberg report.
Twitter Chief Executive, Jack Dorsey had earlier noted that the company would simplify its product in an effort to attract new users.
“We think there’s a lot of opportunity in our product to fix some broken windows that we know are inhibiting growth,” Dorsey said.
Currently, links take up to 23 characters of a tweet, limiting the amount of commentary that users can offer when sharing articles or other content.
If the new character count policy is implemented, it will allow users to compose wordier tweets. For years, Twitter users have complained about the fact that link and photo URLs count against each tweet’s 140-character limit.
