Twitter Is Working On New Feature To Divide Long Thread Automatically

Twitter Is Working On New Feature To Divide Long Thread Auto

Twitter is currently working on a composer that will automatically split the content into a thread when it exceeds the 280-character restriction.

Twitter's app researcher Jane Manchun Wong in a tweet stated that the company is developing a method for automatically creating threads out of lengthy texts.

Twitter intends to make thread creation less complicated, as she stated in a message to a user.

The Plus button is now required for users to add a tweet to a thread and submit the subsequent 280 characters, which may be highly frustrating when trying out an idea or pasting information from another document.

Several users have recently brought up the difficulty of posting to and reading conversations with more than a few tweets; the thread in question was 82 tweets long and focused on the defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX.

In response, Musk stated that the team is working to make thread writing simpler.

It will be useful to have markers to designate the start and end of a tweet in the thread, although the exact implementation details remain unknown, as Financial Times product manager Matt Taylor noted.

This makes it simpler for users to change the text in a way that doesn't disrupt the reading flow.

Musk has previously addressed the problem of posting lengthy tweets.

He previously stated that the social network is developing the capability to attach long-form content to tweets. If that will be a standalone feature from the new thread composer is unclear.

Currently, some users rely on third-party programmes like Typefully, ThreadStart, and Chirr App, which offer capabilities like scheduling along with tools to automatically divide your post into threads without interfering with sentence flow.

Thanks to its acquisition of Threader the previous year, the company today provides Twitter Blue customers with a simple way to read threads.

However, Musk hasn't actually stated whether he is altering the reading experience for the typical user.

There is already a long-form writing programme on Twitter called Notes, but it is exclusively available to a small number of writers, and under Musk's leadership, its future is unclear.

Even though Twitter workers are presently working on the new composer function for threads, it is unclear when it will launch.

Musk sacked the majority of the workers after he took over the business.

The new leader even issued an ultimatum Wednesday that the remaining staff must be "hardcore" or leave, as many executives have already quit.

Products won't always be delivered on time in this situation.

When the new Twitter Blue plan with a verification mark was finally released, the business hurried the process, only to end the programme a few days later.

It will now launch later this month, according to Musk earlier this week statement.

Wong recently found code that suggests Twitter is working on encrypting direct messages from end to end.
