Frequently Asked Questions
What is the character limit on Twitter?
Twitter has a limit of 280 characters per tweet. This includes spaces, punctuation and emojis. URLs are shortened to 23 characters regardless of their actual length.
How long can a Twitter thread be?
There is no official limit on Twitter thread length. However threads longer than 10-15 tweets tend to see significant drop off in engagement. The practical limit is around 25 tweets for maintaining reader attention.
Do emojis count as characters on Twitter?
Yes, emojis count as characters on Twitter. Most emojis count as 2 characters due to Unicode encoding. This means a tweet with emojis will hit the 280 character limit faster than plain text.
How do I write a good Twitter thread?
Start with a strong hook tweet, keep each tweet focused on one idea, number your tweets so readers know the sequence, use line breaks for readability, end with a summary or call to action, and keep each tweet under 250 characters to leave room for replies.
