Twitter allows you to enter more than 280 characters. Users can also attach GIFs and photos to their tweets. However, the microblogging platform will limit users to stick to one type of tweeting media. So if you attach a photo, you can add more photos, but not another form of media. Now Twitter is working on changing that.
A new leak from Twitter’s Alessandro Paluzzi (@alex193a) suggests that the platform is working on the ability to attach photos, videos and GIFs in the same tweet. Check it out below.

The feature is currently under testing and therefore available to very few users for now. If it’s well-received, we’ll likely soon see the ability to roll it out to everyone with an update. Note, however, that the new ability still adheres to the four-item limit, so while you can now attach multiple media together, you’re still limited to four photos/videos/GIFs.
“We’re seeing people having more visual conversations on Twitter and using images, GIFS and videos to make those conversations more exciting. With this test, we hope to learn how people combine these different media formats to express themselves more creatively on Twitter beyond 280 characters,” Twitter said in a statement to TechCrunch.
The addition will be a welcome change for users who want to post multiple media, especially photos and videos together. The only solution at the moment for users who wanted to share both together was to turn a tweet into a thread and attach photos to one tweet and videos to another.
