The Twitter app has announced the start of testing a new feature that users of the app have been waiting for for years.
According to the technical website “The Verge”, the Twitter developer team published images explaining how the new “Twitter Notes” feature will work, as users can click on the “Write” tab to start writing a blog, and they can then Include the blog in their tweets when they’re done.
According to some specialized sites, the new “Notes” feature is currently available to a limited number of Twitter users in the United States, Canada, Ghana and Britain, and it is expected that it will appear for users of the application in other countries later.

This feature provides users with the ability to write long texts on topics of interest to them, and publish those texts via special links, meaning that they will no longer be restricted to a few words as is the case with Twitter tweets, and through this new feature, images, videos and GIF files can be published.

The user can send Notes content to other people via Twitter messages, and can post this content in tweets that accept re-posting more than once.
The addition of the feature to write long articles to Twitter is a new step to fundamentally change the character of the platform for the global tweeting platform, as it crosses the character barrier specified in a single tweet. The site was defined when it was launched as a platform dedicated to writing short blog posts, and the limit for tweets was only 140 characters at the beginning, before the company doubled the number of tweet characters to 280 characters in 2017.
By integrating long-form writing into its platform, Twitter can get more of these posts, which may lead to articles or notes being published directly on Twitter and make the text indexable for marketing and research purposes, and can also be compatible with the company’s emerging newsletter feature. .
Twitter officials indicated that the new feature is still in the testing stages, and they have not yet officially announced the date of its widespread launch for users of the application around the world.
