Nowadays, we need to understand the character limits on different platforms for effective communication. 𝕏 , formerly known as Twitter allows for tweets with up to 280 charactersM.
Most tweets are typically between 180 or 190 characters. On Instagram captions can be as long as 2200 characters. Only the first 125 characters are visible at first so the beginning is key. Facebook allows posts of up to 63,206 characters yet concise meta descriptions of up to 155 characters tend to be more engaging. LinkedIn now permits posts of up to 3000 characters for professional branding. Tumblr gives you the freedom of characters while Quora limits questions to 300 characters and allows comprehensive answers. Snapchat limits captions to 250 characters. Whatsapp messages can go up to 6000 characters. Discord supports messages with a maximum of 2000 characters and Reddit titles range from 2 to 300 characters in length.
