Understanding X Character Limits
X (formerly Twitter) has evolved its character limits over time to accommodate different types of content and subscription tiers:
- Standard Posts: 280 characters for all users
- X Premium: Up to 25,000 characters for subscribers
- Direct Messages: 10,000 characters per message
- Profile Elements: Bio (160), Username (15), Display Name (50)
Tips for Writing Effective Posts
- Keep it Brief: Focus on your core message to maximize impact
- Skip Hashtags: X's algorithm works better without them
- Smart Linking: Share links in replies to keep your main post clean
- Add Visuals: Images and videos boost engagement significantly
- Drive Engagement: Ask questions or encourage responses
- Double-Check: Review your post before sharing
