Twitter may soon exclude links and photos from the 140-character limit the social media platform has come to be known for.
As reported by Bloomberg, citing a source close to Twitter and the company’s plans, this particular change could be made within the next two weeks. Currently, links are automatically altered to 23 characters, even if the original link has fewer characters.
Last year, Twitter was rumored to be working on a way to move past the character limit, and in January the company was said to be considering 10,000 character tweets; a move that was already made with direct messages. Changes to the way Tweets are made were not implemented, with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey later stating the platform would keep its current character limit.
It is unknown if Twitter intends to made additional changes to Tweets alongside the upcoming changes to links and photos, though Dorsey has said in the past that the platform is constantly changing to reflect how people use it.
