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. Twitch.tv bios have a cap of 300 characters whereas GitHub and Stack Overflow stress on concise commit messages around the length of 72 characters or so. YouTube descriptions can go up to a maximum of around a thousand words while TikTok restricts video descriptions and bios within character counts – videos are capped at about 150 words and bios at roughly 80 words each. Various e commerce platforms such as eBay, Etsy, Amazon and Kickstarter require brief product descriptions with character limits ranging from about 80 to 250 words per description lengthwise.
