Notes
In select regions, Twitter is testing a brand-new feature called Notes. It allows users to publish lengthier posts like blogs on Twitter by getting around the character limit of 280. It’s interesting to note that Twitter began as a microblogging service with a 140-character restriction until increasing it to 280 characters in 2017.
Users of Notes can enter a body content of up to 2,500 characters and a title of up to 100 characters long. Text may be combined with images, tweets, and links to create an identical replica of a blog entry. Each Notes item will have its own URL, enabling readers without Twitter accounts to access the lengthy material.
In a sequence of tweets on June 22, Twitter provided a preview of how the functionality functions using two GIFs.
Notes have a significant advantage than standard tweets in that they may be modified even after they have been published. The tool is being tested by Twitter in Ghana, the UK, Canada, and the US.
Twitter Safety
In September 2021, Twitter started a brief test of its “Safety Mode.” The firm said in February 2022 that it will be extending the beta version of the function to around 50% of customers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand.
Users may authorise Twitter to immediately ban any account it deems to contain offensive language thanks to a special function. The mentioned retweets are subject to this autoblock function. For seven days after being banned by the feature, users are prohibited from interacting with the blocker’s account until the original account explicitly unblocks the user.
