Twitter To Allow 10,000 Characters Limit for DMs

[engine]

Twitter has announced it's relaxed its 140 character limit on DMs extending it to 10,000 characters. Wow, just wow! That's a huge leap from 140. Remember, this is for DMs only, so don't get any ideas about extra long tweets.

We recommend taking the following actions in preparation:

Review the new API additions below.
Update your GET requests so you will be able to receive the full length of DM text.
Adjust your app UI to accommodate longer DM text.

We encourage you to test and deploy the above changes in advance, but you won’t be able to send longer DMs until we launch in July. In the coming weeks though, we will update this post to include directions on how to test these changes, as well as a more specific launch date.
